TL;DR
This paper corrects an earlier analysis of HD209458b's atmosphere by updating the temperature-pressure profile due to a code error, and discusses the implications of this correction.
Contribution
It provides an updated atmospheric profile for HD209458b after identifying and correcting a coding error in previous sodium line analysis.
Findings
Revised temperature-pressure profile of HD209458b's atmosphere
Discussion on the impact of the correction on previous interpretations
Clarification of the ionization layer and thermosphere characteristics
Abstract
An error was detected in the code used for the analysis of the HD209458b sodium profile (Vidal-Madjar et al. 2011). Here we present an updated T-P profile and briefly discuss the consequences.
