Abstract
- In this paper, we analyze and interpret light curves obtained by observing with the HST telescope the transit of exoplanet HD 189733b across the disk of the star. Observations are carried out in a wide wavelength range of 5500–10 500 Å, which makes it possible to identify the relation between the wavelength and the data obtained during the interpretation of the radius of the planet. It is also shown that this dependence can be explained by the presence of a Rayleigh atmosphere on the planet while the possible parameters of this atmosphere are also approximately estimated.
