Color photometry with precision sufficient to detect this signal in transits of HD 209458 is available in the literature. Analysis of these observations reveals that, while the signature does exhibit the expected shape, it is significantly stronger than PHOENIX atmospheric models predict.AstronomyAtmosphericsPhotometryPlanetsDouble-homed color signatureExoplanetary transitsOccultations, stars: atmospheresStars: planetary systemsColor image processing Occultations, stars: atmospheresStars: planetary systemsThe color signature of the transit of HD209458: discrepancies between stellar atmospheric models and observations200610.1051/0004-6361:2005002022015-12-07
