On the example of the exoplanet HD 189733 an influence of stellar activity on the efficiency of the plasma mechanism of radio emission generation of the exoplanet and the properties of this emission are considered. The plasma generation mechanism can be effectively implemented in the plasmasphere of exoplanets with a weak magnetic field and a relatively high electron plasma density, when the electron cyclotron maser is not efficient. The plasma mechanism depends essentially on the parameters of the plasma and involves the generation of plasma waves by energetic electrons and a conversion of these waves into electromagnetic radiation. The stellar wind can significantly modify the exoplanet plasmasphere, which was not taken into account in the first studies of the plasma mechanism in the plasmasphere of HD 189733b. In present study we used a three-dimensional model of the interaction of the exoplanet HD189733b with the stellar wind for cases of moderate and intense stellar winds. The study shows that the implementation of plasma mechanism is possible at any intensity of the stellar wind. However, depending on the intensity, the requirements for the parameters of plasma mechanism change. In particular, the plasma waves energy which is required to generate the radio emission available for registration by modern radio telescopes changes. Besides, the frequency range of the radio emission changes. The latter will make it possible to use the detected radio emission as an indicator of the activity of the parent star. |
