THE DEEP BLUE COLOR OF HD 189733b: ALBEDO MEASUREMENTS WITH <i>HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE</i> /SPACE TELESCOPE IMAGING SPECTROGRAPH AT VISIBLE WAVELENGTHS

THE DEEP BLUE COLOR OF HD 189733b: ALBEDO MEASUREMENTS WITH <i>HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE</i> /SPACE TELESCOPE IMAGING SPECTROGRAPH AT VISIBLE WAVELENGTHS

We present a secondary eclipse observation for the hot Jupiter HD189733b across the wavelength range 290-570nm made using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope. We measure geometric albedos of Ag = 0.40 \pm 0.12 across 290-450nm and Ag < 0.12 across 450-570nm at 1-sigma confidence. The …
