Exoplanet phase curves: observations and theory

ArXiv 1711.07696 (2017)

Authors:

Vivien Parmentier, Ian Crossfield

Abstract:

Phase curves are the best technique to probe the three dimensional structure of exoplanets' atmospheres. In this chapter we first review current exoplanets phase curve observations and the particular challenges they face. We then describe the different physical mechanisms shaping the atmospheric phase curves of highly irradiated tidally locked exoplanets. Finally, we discuss the potential for future missions to further advance our understanding of these new worlds.
