Abstract
With over 30 phase curves observed during the warm Spitzer mission, the complete data set provides a wealth of information relating to trends and three-dimensional properties of hot Jupiter atmospheres. In this work we present a comparative study of seven new Spitzer phase curves for four planets with equilibrium temperatures of T 1300K: Qatar-2b, WASP-52b, WASP-34b, and WASP-140b, as well as the reanalysis of the 4.5 $\micron$ Qatar-1b phase curve due to the similar equilibrium temperature. In total, five 4.5 $\micron$ phase curves and three 3.6 $\micron$ phase curves are analyzed here with a uniform approach. Using these new results, in combination with literature values for the entire population of published Spitzer phase curves of hot Jupiters, we present evidence for a linear trend of increasing hot spot offset with increasing orbital period, as well as observational evidence for two classes of planets in apparent redistribution vs. equilibrium temperature parameter space, and tentative evidence for a dependence of hot spot offset on planetary surface gravity in our 1300 K sample. We do not find trends in apparent heat redistribution with orbital period or gravity. Non-uniformity in literature Spitzer data analysis techniques precludes a definitive determination of the sources or lack of trends.
