The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) was installed on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in 2009. COS performs high-sensitivity, medium-resolution spectroscopy of astronomical objects, providing opportunities for observing faint sources of ultraviolet light. HD 189733 b is a transiting hot Jupiter orbiting a young and active K type star. Detecting heavy atoms in the atmospheres of giant exoplanets is a key factor for understanding their composition and evolution. I will talk about the detection of O I and C II during four HD 189733 b transits using COS data, and compare the observational transit depth to our atmospheric hydrodynamic model.
