The origin of the excess transit absorption in the HD 189733 system: planet or star?

J. R. Barnes, C. A. Haswell, D. Staab +1

We have detected excess absorption in the emission cores of Ca II H & K during transits of HD 189733b for the first time. Using observations of three transits we investigate the or…
