3 / 18 Japanese Telescopes in Hawaii Subaru 8.2m Telescope at Mauna Kea, the Big Island MUGNUM 2m Telescope at Haleakala, Maui.
4 / 18 Subaru HDS (High Dispersion Spectrograph) HDS is an echelle spectrograph installed at Subaru Telescope. An iodine cell is available for radial velocity measurements. Instrumental performance: • for V = 8 stars (in 5000 ~ 6000 Å) • R ~ 90000, 3 min exposure SNR ~ 250 / pixel • for V = 12 stars • R ~ 45000, 15 min exposure SNR ~ 100 / pixel
5 / 18 Multicolor Active Galactic NUclei Monitoring MAGNUM is a dedicated telescope for AGN research. A wide-field camera has not yet been equipped (future planning). Instrumental performance: • FOV : 1’.5 x 1’.5 square, Band : Optical & IR • differential photometric accuracy • ~ 1.5 mmag (in FOV) • 4 ~ 6 mmag (nodding out of FOV)
6 / 18 Research Projects using these Telescopes Aim: to characterize exoplanets and their systems through transit observations • Ground-based Transmission Spectroscopy • search for atmospheric signatures • previous work : HD 209458 • Measurements of the Rossiter effect • measure the angle between stellar-spin and planetary-orbital axes • ongoing work : TrES-1
7 / 18 Observing Strategies Full transit observation within a single night: • to limit day-to-day instrumental or telluric variations • important for transmission spectroscopy Simultaneous spectroscopy and photometry: • to minimize uncertainty due to orbital ephemeris • important for the Rossiter measurements • transit center accuracy of a few minutes • to monitor transient stellar activities • flare, spots, etc
8 / 18 Transmission Spectroscopy One can in principle detect atmospheric constituents by comparing spectra taken in and out of transit.

10 / 18 in transit out of transit Charbonneau et al. 2002 HST Results Detection of -0.0232±0.0057 % excess absorption for 12Å band around the sodium doublet: However, it was significantly weaker than the fiducial models (for HD 209458b at least).
11 / 18 1σ 0.06~0.09% for 2Å band 1σ 0.04% for the 12Å band Narita et al. 2005 Previous Work using Subaru HDS We have attempted to search atmospheric signatures: Our sensitivity for HD 209458b was enough to exclude previous fiducial models with a single night observation.
12 / 18 • Requirements to exclude fiducial models with one night • very bright host star : V < 8 • transit duration : longer than 1 hour HD 189733 would be a second target for this study. Motivation of ground-based observations How about other transiting hot Jupiters? We can answer whether the weak sodium absorption is standard or not, or we would be able to detect excess absorption.
13 / 18 Measurements of the Rossiter Effect give us clues to learn about formation mechanism of exoplanets. misalignment parameter λ the degree between the stellar spin axis and the planetary orbital axis in sky projection.
14 / 18 disk-planet interaction (e.g., Type I & II Migration Theory) • core-accretion and radial migration from outside of the snow line • λ would be suppressed. (e.g., Solar System: λ ~ 6 deg) planet-planet interaction (e.g., Jumping-Jupiter model) • if more than 3 giants are formed, the orbits become unstable • this leads to the ejection of one of the giants • the ejected giant can be recaptured neighbor the host star with ~ 30% probability (S. Ida, private communication) • λ would be randomized. Some Models of Hot Jupiter Formation
15 / 18 Past Results All results consistent with zero-misalignment. • HD 209458 (V = 7.65) • -4.4 ± 1.4 deg (Winn et al. 2005) • HD 149026 (V = 8.15) • 11 ± 14 deg (Wolf et al. 2006) • HD 189733 (V = 7.67) • -1.4 ± 1.1 deg (Winn et al. ApJL submitted) All hot Jupiters seem to be formed by standard migration theories.
16 / 18 Ongoing Work We observed TrES-1 (V = 11.8) covering a full transit. MAGNUM photometry (1σ ~ 0.15%) Subaru spectroscopy (SNR ~ 80) We have confirmed transit time by photometry, and obtained 23 radial velocity samples (8~10 m/s accuracy).
17 / 18 • Requirements to determine λ with good accuracy • bright host star : V < 12 • large stellar rotation velocity : > 2 km/s • large transit depth : ~ 1.5 % • long transit duration : ~ 3 hours see e.g., OTS (2005), Gaudi and Winn (2006) for accuracy of λ. Recent new systems (e.g., HAT-P-1) would be future targets. Motivation and Future Work Planetary systems with large λ have not yet discovered. →Migration mechanism is unique standard?
18 / 18 Summary • Our group has initiated transit observation projects: • Ground-based Transmission Spectroscopy • Measurements of the Rossiter effect • Our targets are: • V < 8 (Transmission Spectroscopy) • V < 12 (the Rossiter measurements) • HD189733, HAT-P-1, etc would be good targets • We wish to provide new observational information through our projects.
