Abstract

The results of modeling the Hα absorption spectrum of the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter WASP‑52b are presented. The atmosphere was modeled with a three-dimensional hydrodynamic code. Several different values of the XUV ionizing radiation were considered. The Lyα-photon transfer in the atmosphere was simulated by the Monte Carlo method. Spatial distributions of the volume density of hydrogen atoms excited to the second energy level H(2) were obtained, and absorption spectra in the Hα line were calculated. It was also shown that absorption takes place in a layer with a thickness of about 1.5 times the planetary radius, while the greatest influence on absorption is exerted by Lyα photons produced due to recombination of electrons and protons.
