Abstract
We report the detection of the primary transit of the extra-solar planet
HD 80 606 b, thanks to photometric and spectroscopic observations performed
at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence, simultaneously with the CCD
camera at the 120-cm telescope and the SOPHIE spectrograph on the 193-cm
telescope. We observed the whole egress of the transit and
partially its central part, in both datasets with the same timings. The ingress occurred before
sunset so was not observed. The full duration of the transit was between 9.5
and 17.2 h. The data allows the planetary radius to be measured
(
)
and other
parameters of the system to be refined. Radial velocity measurements show the
detection of a prograde Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, and provide a hint of a spin-orbit
misalignment.
If confirmed, this misalignment would corroborate the hypothesis that
HD 80 606 b owes its unusual orbital configuration to Kozai migration.
HD 80 606 b is by far the transiting planet on the longest period
detected today. Its unusually small radius reinforces the observed relationship
between the planet radius and the incident flux received from the star and opens new questions for theory.
Orbiting a bright star (V=9), it opens opportunities for
numerous follow-up studies.

1 Introduction
The extra-solar planet HD 80 606 b was discovered with the ELODIE spectrograph by
Naef et al. (2001). This is a giant planet (4
)
with a 111-day orbital period on an extremely eccentric orbit (e=0.93).
HD 80 606 is a member of a binary system
(with HD 80 607) with a separation
of
1200 AU (
on the sky). Wu &
Murray (2003) suggest that the present orbit of HD 80 606 b results from the
combination of the Kozai cycles (induced by the distant stellar
companion) and tidal friction.
Recently, Laughlin et al. (2009) report detecting
a secondary transit for HD 80 606 b using 8
m Spitzer
observations around the periastron passage. This implies an inclination
of the system near
,
and a
15% probability that
the planet also shows primary transits.
If transits occur, opportunities for detecting them are rare because the orbital period of the planet is almost four months. We managed an observational campaign to attempt detection of the transit of HD 80 606 b scheduled to happen on Valentine's Day (14 February 2009). We simultaneously used instruments of two telescopes of the Observatoire de Haute-Provence (OHP), France: the CCD camera at the 120-cm telescope, and the SOPHIE spectrograph at the 1.93-m telescope. This allows us to report the detection of the primary transit of HD 80 606 b, in photometry as well as in spectroscopy through the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect.
We recall the stellar characteristics of the primary star, which we used in our analysis of the transit data presented hereafter:
HD 80 606 is a G5-type star with a parallax measured by Hipparcos of mas. A compilation of spectroscopic data from the literature gives an effective temperature of
K,
of
and a high metallicity of 0.33 dex (Santos et al. 2004; Valenti & Fischer 2005). The stellar mass can be
estimated using isochrones and we get
.
Using the relationship between luminosity, temperature, gravity, and mass, the stellar luminosity is estimated
.
Finally, relating radius with luminosity and temperature, we derive a radius of
.
These mean values were obtained after several iterations over mass and radius determination.
Chromospheric activity gives an age interval of 1.7 to 7.6 Gyr (Saffe
et al. 2005).
2 The photometric transit of HD 80 606 b
Predicted epochs for the primary transit of HD 80 606 b were given by Laughlin
et al. (2009). We carried observations around the expected transit epoch JD=2 454 876.5 with the 120-cm telescope at OHP, equipped with a 12 arcmin
12 arcmin CCD camera. The Bessel R filter and a neutral density were inserted, to insure unsaturated, focused images of the V=9 target. We obtained 326 frames on 13 Feburary 2009 and 238 frames on the preceeding night, for comparison. Typical exposure times range between 60 sec on the first night and 20-30 s on the second. Aperture photometry was then performed on both data sequences. Apertures of 8 and 6 pixels were used for the first and second observing nights, respectively. The secondary companion HD 80 607 is taken as a reference for HD 80 606. Both stars are separated by 24 pixels, which prevents contamination even using simple aperture photometry. The sky background is evaluated in rings of about 12-15 pixel radii. The resulting lightcurve is shown in Fig. 1 (upper panel) with all data included. The data quality is significantly better during the transit night, because of different seeing conditions. The rms is about 0.0023 and 0.0030, respectively.
An egress is clearly detected in the data sequence obtained during the night 13-14 February. A shift of almost one half transit is observed, in comparison to expected ephemeris. Long-term systematics are observed in the lightcurve and removed by a polynomial function of the airmass, with the criterion of getting a flat section of the out-of-transit flux. This correction does not strongly affect the transit shape. It is checked on the 12-13 February sequence that long-term fluctuations are low (not corrected for in Fig. 1). The beginning of the transit sequence unambiguously shows that we do not detect the ingress of the transit. The first hour of the sequence indicates a slight decrease but the data are quite noisy due to the low object's elevation, and this may be introduced by the correction for airmass variations. We observed in total 7 h during transit on the second night, and 3.4 h after the transit. In addition, we gathered 9.8 h out of transit on the first night.

Table 2: Parameter sets for the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect models.
Modelling the primary transit lightcurve of HD 80 606 b is done in the first place using models of circular orbits, to constrain the inclination and the radius ratio. The Universal Transit Modeler (Deeg 2008) is used, including the limb-darkening coefficients of Claret (2000) for the r' filter, and parameters of the orbits given in the next section. Figures 1 and 2 show three transit models superimposed to the data, corresponding to impact parameter b ranging from 0 to 0.91 or inclinations ranging from 89.2 to 90.0 deg. The
residuals depicted in Fig. 2 correspond to an average transit duration of 13.5 h, with b=0.75 and rms of 0.0023. The transit depth imposes a radius ratio
of
.
The planet radius is then estimated to be
.
To match the full transit lightcurve, a model including eccentricity would be required. The asymmetry of the ingress and egress should be detected and properly fitted, for instance. Since we have a partial transit, the approximation of the circular modelling is acceptable here, if one takes the relative projection of the transit angle and the line of sight into account. In a further study, we plan to investigate the modelling of the asymetric transit by including the eccentric orbit. We do not expect major differences compared to the simple fit performed here, before new, more complete photometric data are obtained.

3 The spectroscopic transit of HD 80 606 b
We observed HD 80 606 with the SOPHIE instrument at the 1.93-m telescope of OHP.
SOPHIE is a cross-dispersed, environmentally stabilized echelle spectrograph
dedicated to high-precision radial velocity measurements (Bouchy
et al. 2006;
Perruchot et al. 2008).
We used the high-resolution mode (resolution power R=75 000) of the
spectrograph and the fast-readout mode of the CCD detector.
The two 3
-wide circular apertures (optical fibers) were used, the first one
centred on the target and the second one on the sky to simultaneously
measure its background. This second aperture, 2
away from the first one,
allows us to check that there is no significant pollution due to moonlight
on the spectra of the target.
We obtained 48 radial velocity measurements from 8 to 17 February 2009, including a full sequence during the night 13 February (
), when the possible transit was expected to occur
according to the ephemeris. The exposure times range from 600 to 1500 s, insuring a
constant signal-to-noise ratio. This observation was performed in parallel to the photometric ones.
The sequence of the transit night is plotted in Fig. 1, lower panel, together
with the measurement secured the previous night. The Keplerian curve expected
from the orbital parameters is overplotted. The radial velocities of the
13 February
night are clearly blue-shifted by m s-1 from the Keplerian curve in the
1st half of the night, then match the Keplerian curve in the 2nd half of the night.
This is the feature expected for a planet transiting on a prograde orbit,
according to the Rossiter-McLaughlin (RM) effect.
This effect occurs when an object transits in front of a rotating star, causing a spectral
distortion of the stellar lines profile, and thus resulting in a Doppler-shift
anomaly (Ohta et al. 2005; Giménez et al. 2006b; Gaudi &
Winn 2007).
On the RM feature of HD 80 606 b (Fig. 1),
the third and fourth contacts occurred at
and
,
respectively,
whereas the
first contact occurred before sunset and was not observed. These timings agree
with those of the photometry (Sect. 2 and Fig. 2) and
the detection of the Rossiter-McLaughlin anomaly is unambiguous.
The Keplerian curve in Fig. 1 corresponds to the orbital parameters that
we refined for HD 80 606 b. We used the SOPHIE measurements performed out of the
transit, as well as 45 Keck measurements (Butler et al. 2006) and
74 ELODIE measurements (55 published by Naef et al. (2001)
and 19 additional measurements obtained from
to 52 961).
We allowed free radial-velocity shifts between the three datasets.
We used the constraint of the secondary transit given by Laughlin
et al. (2009) (
HJD).
We also used our constraint on the primary transit considering
that the end of transit is
BJD.
From these contraints,
we estimated that the inclination of the system is from 90
(
Tt=2 454 876.20 BJD with 17.2 h duration) to 89.2
(
Tt=2 454 876.32 BJD with 9.4 h duration).
Assuming those constraints,
we adjusted the Keplerian orbit.
The dispersion of the radial velocities around this fit is 8.6 m s-1, and
the reduced
is 1.4.
The obtained parameters are reported in Table 1. They
agree with those of Laughlin et al. (2009), except for the period,
where there is a 3-
disagreement. The full data set and orbital solution are plotted in
Fig. 3. We note that no anterior data was obtained during the transit by any instrument, as shown in the inset of Fig. 3.

To model the RM effect, we used the analytical approach
developed by Ohta et al. (2005). The complete model has 12 parameters:
the six standard orbital parameters, the radius ratio
,
the orbital semi-major axis
to stellar radius a/R* (constrained by the transit duration), the sky-projected angle between
the stellar spin axis and the planetary orbital axis
,
the sky-projected stellar rotational
velocity v sin I, the orbital inclination i, and the stellar limb-darkening coefficient
.
For our purpose, we used the orbital parameters and photometric transit parameters as
derived previously.
We fixed the linear limb-darkening coefficient
,
based on Claret (2000)
tables for filter g' and for the stellar parameters derived in Sect. 1.
Our free parameters are then
,
v sin I, and i.
As we observed a partial transit, there is no way to put a strong constraint
on the inclination i.
We then decided to adjust
for different values of i in the range
89.2-90
.
The results of our fits (Table 2 and Fig. 1, lower panel) first
show that the stellar rotation is prograde relative to the planet orbit.
Assuming
and
,
the projected rotation velocity of the star
v sin I determined by our RM fit is 2.2 km s-1. This agrees with the value 1.8 km s-1 obtained
by Valenti & Fisher (2005), as well as our spectroscopic determination (2-3 km s-1) from SOPHIE
spectra. This latest one could be slightly overestimated here due to the high metallicity of HD 80 606.
We decided to fix this value and to explore the different values of inclination angle i to estimate
the spin-orbit
angle.
We see in Table 2 that, if the transit is not central, then the RM fit
suggests that the spin-orbit angle is not aligned.
4 Discussion and conclusion
Despite the low probability of a 111-day period system being seen edge-on at both at the
primary and the secondary transit phases (about 1% in the case of HD 80 606 b), the data
acquired at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence and presented here show
this alignment unambiguously. With a partial transit observed, we were able to constrain the orbital parameters, including the inclination
with a precision of
,
and to measure the planetary radius.
The error bars of our measurements should be taken with caution, however, and the system's parameters slightly revised when more complete data is obtained, since systematic noise is more difficult to correct with incomplete transits.
The planet has a low radius (
)
considering its mass (
).
Since it is also by far the transiting gas giant receiving the lower irradiation from its parent star, it is tempting to see its small radius as reinforcing the explanation of anomalously large hot Jupiters as caused primarily to stellar irradiation, as proposed for instance by Guillot & Showman (2002).
Figure 4 shows the increasingly clear correlation between equilibrium temperature and size for transiting gas giants. The relation holds for both massive planets (>2
)
and Jupiter-like planets.
Tidal effects (Jackson et al. 2007) may play a role in the observed radius of HD 80 606 b.
The high metallicity of the parent star also helps provide refractory material for a massive core, although the required enrichment would be beyond actual expectations. More theoretical development is needed to reproduce the system's parameters, taking the whole history of orbital evolution and variations in the irradiation conditions into account.

Most of the
known transiting planets are orbiting close to their hosting stars.
Only 5 of them have periods longer than 5 days, the most distant from its star being HD 17 156 b,
on a 21.2-day period. HD 80 606 b has
by far the longest period (111.4 days).
It may be compared to other planetary systems with a massive planet in an eccentric orbit:
HD 17 156, HAT-P-2, and XO-3. HD 80 606 b has a smaller radius than those planets, which can be
related to the migration history or to the changes in stellar irradiation along the orbit
(Laughlin et al. 2009). The shape of the Rossiter-McLaughlin anomaly shows that the orbit
of HD 80 606 b is prograde, and suggests that it could be significantly
inclined relative to the stellar equator.
Since a high initial relative inclination is a key requirement for Kozai migration to work (Wu & Murray 2003), this observation is not surprising. Tighter constraints on the spin-orbit
misalignment in HD 80 606 may support the Wu & Murray formation scenario and may provide compelling evidence that the orbital evolutionof HD 80 606 b was once dominated by the binary companion.
Among the 11 other
transiting planets with Rossiter-McLaughlin measurements, the only
system to show a significant spin-orbit misalignment is XO-3,
another massive and eccentric planet (Hébrard et al. 2008; Winn
et al. 2009). HAT-P-2b is aligned (Winn et al. 2007;
Loeillet et al. 2008).
HD 80 606 b is thus a new Rosetta stone in the field of planetary transits. By orbiting a bright star (V=9), it opens opportunities for numerous follow-up studies, including: observation of a full photometric transit from space or multi-site campaigns to measure a complete spectroscopic transit sequence.
After submission, we learned that other observations of this system had been obtained on the same day. Fossey et al. (2009) and Garcia-Melendo & McCullough (2009) independently confirm the detection of the photometric transit. In addition, MEarth observations (Charbonneau, priv. comm. and oklo.org) held in Arizona show a flat lightcurve of HD 80 606, which limits the transit duration to less than 12 h, hence reinforcing evidence of a spin-orbit misalignment (solutions of red and blue models in Fig. 1 are rejected). The grazing eclipse configuration would also result in a slightly larger planetary radius. Further analyses will follow in a forthcoming paper.
