Towards consistent mapping of distant worlds: secondary-eclipse scanning of the exoplanet HD 189733b

Towards consistent mapping of distant worlds: secondary-eclipse scanning of the exoplanet HD 189733b

Context. Mapping distant worlds is the next frontier for exoplanet infrared (IR) photometry studies. Ultimately, constraining spatial and temporal properties of an exoplanet atmosphere (e.g., its temperature) will provide further insight into its physics. For tidally-locked hot Jupiters that transit...
