Phase-curve approach to study atmospheric flows in hot Jupiters
D. Shulyak, W. Dietrich, V. Parmentier +5
Short-orbit gaseous exoplanets are the best targets to study atmospheric dynamics. A time series of emission observations collected at various photometric filters (phase curves) pr…
Comparing Results from Two Uniform Phase Curve Surveys
Emeline Decocq, Mark Swain, Lisa Dang +2
We present a comparison of the two most recent and comprehensive Spitzer phase curve studies - Dang et al. (2025) and Swain et al. (2025) - which report analyses of the Spitzer 4.5…
A New Approach to Compiling Exoatmospheric Target Lists And Quantifying the Ground-Based Resources Needed to Vet Them
Jennifer A. Burt, Robert T. Zellem, David R. Ciardi +8
Transiting exoplanet atmospheric characterization is currently in a golden age as dozens of exoplanet atmospheres are being studied by NASA's Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes…
Thermal Phase Curves in Hot Gas Giant Exoplanets Exhibit a Complex Dependence on Planetary Properties
Mark R Swain, Kyle A Pearson, Thaddeus D. Komacek +5
We present a catalog of uniformly processed 3.6-m and 4.5-m band exoplanet thermal phase curves based on Infrared Array Camera observations obtained from the Spitzer Herita…
