| Jansen & Kipping "Detection of the phase curve and occultation of WASP-100b with TESS" https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.10580In a similar case to Upsilon Andromedae b, the hot spot is significantly shifted from the substellar point (~71° eastwards). The night side is warm with a temperature ~2400 K. The offset of the hot spot may be due to a combination of strong winds in the atmosphere and the recombination/dissociation of hydrogen molecules in the atmosphere. | |
