The Sensitivity of Eclipse Mapping to Planetary Rotation
Mapping exoplanets across phases and during secondary eclipse is a powerful technique for characterizing Hot Jupiters in emission. Since these planets are expected to rotate about axes normal to their orbital planes, with rotation periods synchronized with their orbital periods, mapping provides a d...
