Observed transit for GJ 1214 b

Observed transit depths and theoretical models for GJ 1214 b. The blue and sky-blue points are the data taken with Subaru Telescope's Suprime-Cam and FOCAS, respectively (Narita et al. 2013). The red points are taken with the IRSF 1.4 m telescope located in South Africa (Narita et al. 2013). The three solid lines (yellow, green, and purple) represent hydrogen-rich, water-rich, and extensive cloud atmosphere models based on Howe & Burrows (2012). The Subaru Telescope data indicate no strong Rayleigh scattering in the blue wavelength. (Credit: NAOJ)
