The Very Low Albedo of WASP-12b from Spectral Eclipse Observations with Hubble

We present an optical eclipse observation of the hot Jupiter WASP-12b using the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope. These spectra allow us to place an upper limit of A(g) < 0.064 (97.5% confidence level) on the planet's white light geometric albedo acros...
