ABSTRACT The absorption of stellar radiation observed at transits of HD209458b in resonant lines of OI and CII has not yet been satisfactorily modeled. In our previous 2D simulations we have shown that hydrogen-dominated upper atmosphere of HD209458b, heated by XUV radiation, expands supersonically beyond the Roche lobe and drags heavier species along with it. Assuming solar abundances, OI and CII particles accelerated by tidal forces to velocities up to 50 km/s should produce the absorption due to Doppler resonance at the level of 6–10 per cent, consistent with the observations. Since the 2D geometry does not take into account the Coriolis force in a planet reference frame, the question remained to which extent the spiraling of escaping planetary material and actually achieved velocity may influence the conclusions made on basis of 2D modeling. In the present paper we apply for the first time in studies of HD209458b a global 3D hydrodynamic multi-fluid model. The results confirm our previous findings that the velocity of the planetary flow is sufficiently high to match the widths of OI and CII resonant lines. To match absorption in those lines, including HI, with observations, the mass loss rate of HD209458b should be about 2.5·1011 g/s which is 3.5 times larger than that revealed by the 2D model. The other novel finding is that matching of the absorption measured in MgII and SiIII lines requires at least 10 times lower abundances of these elements than the Solar values.

AbstractFor life to develop, planets are a necessary condition. Likewise, for planets to form, stars must be surrounded by circumstellar disks, at least some time during their pre-main sequence evolution. Much progress has been made recently in the study of young solar-like stars. In the optical domain, these stars are known as «T Tauri stars». A significant number show IR excess, and other phenomena indirectly suggesting the presence of circumstellar disks. The current wisdom is that there is an evolutionary sequence from protostars to T Tauri stars. This sequence is characterized by the initial presence of disks, with lifetimes ~ 1-10 Myr after the intial collapse of a dense envelope having given birth to a star. While they are present, about 30% of the disks have masses larger than the minimum solar nebula. Their disappearance may correspond to the growth of dust grains, followed by planetesimal and planet formation, but this is not yet demonstrated.
