Abstract
Based on the available data on the magnetic field of the star HAT-P-11 and its closest exoplanet HAT-P-11b, as well as information on the stellar wind in this system, we construct the HAT-P-11b magnetic field magnetospheric model. We show how the value and orientation of the interplanetary magnetic field control the magnetospheric structure. Each component of the stellar wind’s magnetic field creates a specific type of reconnection with the exoplanet’s magnetic field.
