... The planet in orbit around 51 Peg has, according to theoretical models, moved into its current position from farther away and its atmosphere may therefore be strongly evaporating. The molecules released by the upper parts of the atmosphere must be rapidly ionized and could form an envelope around the planet. If the planet passes in front of the star, this envelope is in favorable geometric conditions (the inclination angle of the orbit is close to 90?) which allow it to occult the star. ...
