Reconstructed profiles for the weaker Fe I line in a sequence of 11 spatial locations across the disk of HD 209458. Spatially resolved lines are not subject to rotational broadening and are substantially deeper than in the disk-averaged spectrum outside transit (dashed gray). During transit, the profiles shift toward longer wavelengths, illustrating both the stellar rotation at the latitude of transit and the prograde orbital motion of the exoplanet. The intensity scale is the local scale at each disk position.
