A time-dependent radiative model for the atmosphere of the eccentric transiting planets

arXiv:0807.0266 · doi:10.1017/S1743921308027099

Abstract

We present a time-dependent radiative model for the atmosphere of the transiting planets that take into account the eccentricity of their orbit. We investigate the temporal temperature and flux variations due to the planet-star distance variability. We will also discuss observational aspects with Spitzer measurements.
