Their inward migration from larger separations implies that these planets may have accreted large envelopes of molecular hydrogen or water during their formation. Later-on, stellar irradiation would have led to the photodissociation of this envelope, and the formation of a large, extended atmosphere of atomic hydrogen flowing beyond the Roche lobe. We estimate that the two outer and largest planets (Kepler 444 'e' and 'f') would not have completely lost their hydrogen envelop over the system lifetime, and that signatures of atmospheric escape could be detected with HST/STIS at Lyman-alpha. A bright and close star (V=8.9; d=35.7 pc), Kepler-444 has also a high proper motion (gamma=-120 km/s) that will allow for the first time to probe the entire blue wing and the core of the Lyman-alpha line, where absorption arises from the expanding flow of hydrogen in the thermosphere of the planets. Small planets show a large diversity in nature and composition, which can only be investigated through observations of their atmosphere. No such observations have ever been made for planets as old and small as the sub-Earths of the Kepler-444 system. Given the shallowness of their transit, the only part of their atmospheres that can be observed is an extended atmosphere of hydrogen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Observations Description ------------------------ This program consists in 4 visits for a total of 18 HST orbits, dedicated to the observations of the transits of two exoplanets (Kepler 444 'e' and 'f') in front of their host-star. In 2 visits of 5 orbits each we will observe the transit of Kepler 444 'e'. In 2 visits of 4 orbits each we will observe the transit of the exoplanet Kepler 444 'f'. For planet 'e', transits occur every 7.74 days (the orbital period of the planet) and last for 2.84 hours. For planet 'f', transits occur every 9.74 days and last for 1.85 hours. The instrumental setup is the same for all visits. The timing requirements are set as phase constraints on the first ACQ exposure of the first orbit in a visit. For each visit, the goal is to observe the star 14143( 17) - 19-May-2016 13:50:10 - [ 2] during two HST orbits before the transit, one or two HST orbits during the transit, and one or two HST orbits after the transit. The allowed start phase range is ~33 min for Visit#1 and #2 (planet 'e'), and about ~21 min for Visit#3 and #4 (planet 'f') ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14143( 17) - 19-May-2016 13:50:10 - [ 3] TARGET LIST Fixed Targets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tar| Target | Target | Target |Coord | Radial | Flux data No | Name | Description | Position |Eqnx | Vel. | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 BD+41-3306 STAR, EXTRA-SOLAR RA=19H19M0.5491S +/- 0.007", J2000 V = V = 8.86 U=10.01, B=9.67 PLANETARY SYSTEM, K DEC=+41D38'4.57" +/- 0.007" -121.19 III-I Reference Frame: ICRS Extended: NO Comments: All target properties come from the SIMBAD database. The star has Hipparcos astrometric coordinates (HIP 94931). We used the confirmation charts to check that the coordinates and proper motion were correct. This star is in a double (possibly triple) system with common proper motions. The secondary companion is a much fainter M dwarf (or two M dwarfs) with magnitude difference of 3.5, and located 1.9 arcsec away from the primary.

We indicated in the timing requirements specific time windows, obtained by requiring that all planets are between (respective) orbital phases of about 0.45 to 0.9. Observations can start at any time between the given UTC times. We cannot provide phase constraints common to all epochs, because the five planets will be at different orbital phases in each epoch.
