ABSTRACT
HST observations show that two of the brightest transiting exoplanets are evaporating (HD209458b & HD189733b) and models suggest that the evolution of close-in planets may be dominated by this mass loss. X-ray observations during the transits of evaporating planets have the potential to detect absorption by the inner low-velocity regions of the planetary winds that are hidden to HST by interstellar absorption and geocoronal emission. Detections of these dense inner regions are needed in order to determine the dynamics of the planetary outflow and measure the mass loss rates. We propose an intense campaign of XMM-Newton transit observations of the most favourable target, HD189733b, with the aim of detecting the extended atmosphere of the planet and measuring its mass loss rate.

PAPERS
Authors marked in red are (co-)investigators in the proposal

Classification of papers are:
- CLASS 1:   papers that present specific XMM-Newton observations
- CLASS 2: papers that refer to published XMM-Newton results with complementary observations, follow-up analysis, or theoretical analysis
- CLASS 3: further deliveries which resulted from the program and which are made available to the community (e.g. source catalogues, processed images or spectra in public data base)
- CLASS 4: comments and suggestions from PI
