We report ground-based observations at 0.91 microns of the occultation of the hot Jupiter WASP-33b by its A5 host star. We measure the planet to be 0.109 +/- 0.030 per cent as bright as its host star at 0.91 microns. This corresponds to a brightness temperature, T_B = 3620 +200 -250 K, significantly higher than the zero-albedo equilibrium temperature for both isotropic re-radiation (2750 +/- 37 K) and uniform day-side only re-radiation (3271 +/- 44 K), but consistent with the zero-redistribution temperature (3515 +/- 47 K). This indicates that the heat redistribution from the day-side of WASP-33b to the night side is inefficient, and further suggest that there is immediate re-radiation, and therefore little or no redistribution, of heat within the day-side. We also detected the stellar pulsations of WASP-33, which we model as the sum of four sinusoids, with periods of between 42 and 77 minutes and amplitudes of 0.5 to 1.5 mmag.

We present the first ground-based detection of thermal emission from an exoplanet in the H-band. Using HAWK-I on the VLT, we observed an occultation of WASP-19b by its G8V-type host star. WASP-19b is a Jupiter-mass planet with an orbital period of on
ly 19 h, and thus, being highly irradiated, is expected to be hot. We measure an H-band occultation depth of (0.259 +0.046 -0.044) %, which corresponds to an H-band brightness temperature of T_H = 2580 +/- 125 K. A cloud-free model of the planets atmosphere, with no redistribution of energy from day-side to night-side, under predicts the planet/star flux density ratio by a factor of two. As the stellar parameters, and thus the level of planetary irradiation, are well-constrained by measurement, it is likely that our model of the planets atmosphere is too simple.
WASP-33b is a retrograde hot Jupiter with a period of 1.2 days orbiting around a rapidly rotating and pulsating A-type star. A previous study found that the transit chord of WASP-33b had changed slightly from 2008 to 2014 based on Doppler tomographic
measurements. They attributed the change to orbital precession caused by the non-zero oblateness of the host star and the misaligned orbit. We aim to confirm and more precisely model the precession behavior using additional Doppler tomographic data of WASP-33b obtained with the High Dispersion Spectrograph on the 8.2m Subaru telescope in 2011, as well as the datasets used in the previous study. Using equations of a long-term orbital precession, we constrain the stellar gravitational quadrupole moment $J_{2}=(9.14pm 0.51)times 10^{-5}$ and the angle between the stellar spin axis and the line of sight $i_{star}=96^{+10}_{-14}$ deg. These values update that the host star is more spherical and viewed more equator than the previous study. We also estimate that the precession period is $sim$840 years. We also find that the precession amplitude of WASP-33b is $sim$67 deg and WASP-33b transits in front of the host star for only $sim$20% of the whole precession period.
HD 15082 (WASP-33) is the hottest and fastest rotating star known to harbor a transiting extrasolar planet (WASP-33b). The lack of high precision radial velocity (RV) data stresses the need for precise light curve analysis and gathering further RV da
ta. By using available photometric and RV data, we perform a blend analysis, compute more accurate system parameters, confine the planetary mass and attempt to cast light on the observed transit anomalies. We combine the original HATNet observations and various followup data to jointly analyze the signal content and extract the transit component and use our RV data to aid the global parameter determination. The blend analysis of the combination of multicolor light curves yields the first independent confirmation of the planetary nature of WASP-33b. We clearly identify three frequency components in the 15-21 1/day regime with amplitudes 7-5 mmag. These frequencies correspond to the delta Scuti-type pulsation of the host star. None of these pulsation frequencies or their low-order linear combinations are in close resonance with the orbital frequency. We show that these pulsation components explain some but not all of the observed transit anomalies. The grand-averaged transit light curve shows that there is a ~1.5 mmag brightening shortly after the planet passes the mid-transit phase. Although the duration and amplitude of this brightening varies, it is visible even through the direct inspections of the individual transit events (some 40-60% of the followup light curves show this phenomenon). We suggest that the most likely explanation of this feature is the presence of a well-populated spot belt which is highly inclined to the orbital plane. This geometry is consistent with the inference from the spectroscopic anomalies. Finally, we constrain the planetary mass to M_p=3.27+/-0.73 M_J by using our RV data collected by the TRES spectrograph.
We aim to construct a spectral energy distribution (SED) for the emission from the dayside atmosphere of the hot Jupiter WASP-46b and to investigate its energy budget. We observed a secondary eclipse of WASP-46b simultaneously in the grizJHK bands us
ing the GROND instrument on the MPG/ESO 2.2m telescope. Eclipse depths of the acquired light curves were derived to infer the brightness temperatures at multibands that cover the SED peak. We report the first detection of the thermal emission from the dayside of WASP-46b in the K band at 4.2-sigma level and tentative detections in the H (2.5-sigma) and J (2.3-sigma) bands, with flux ratios of 0.253 +0.063/-0.060%, 0.194 +/- 0.078%, and 0.129 +/- 0.055%, respectively. The derived brightness temperatures (2306 +177/-187K, 2462 +245/-302K, and 2453 +198/-258K, respectively) are consistent with an isothermal temperature profile of 2386K, which is significantly higher than the dayside-averaged equilibrium temperature, indicative of very poor heat redistribution efficiency. We also investigate the tentative detections in the gri bands and the 3-sigma upper limit in the z band, which might indicate the existence of reflective clouds if these tentative detections do not arise from systematics.
With a temperature akin to an M-dwarf, WASP-33b is among the hottest Jupiters known, making it an ideal target for high-resolution optical spectroscopy. By analyzing both transmission and emission spectra, we aim to substantiate previous reports of a
tmospheric TiO and a thermal inversion within the planets atmosphere. We observed two transits and six arcs of the phase curve with ESPaDOns on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope and HIRES on the Keck telescope, which provide high spectral resolution and ample wavelength coverage. We employ the Doppler cross-correlation technique to search for the molecular signatures of TiO and H$_2$O in these spectra, using models based on the TiO line list of Plez (2012). Though we cannot exclude line-list-dependent effects, our data do not corroborate previous indications of a thermal inversion. Instead we place a $3sigma$ upper limit of $10^{-9}$ on the volume mixing ratio of TiO for the T-P profile we consider. While we are unable to constrain the volume mixing ratio of water, our strongest constraint on TiO comes from day-side emission spectra. This apparent absence of a stratosphere sits in stark contrast to previous observations of WASP-33b as well as theoretical predictions for the atmospheres of highly irradiated planets. The discrepancy could be due to variances between line lists, and we stress that detection limits are only as good as the line list employed, and are only valid for the specific T-P profile considered due to the strong degeneracy between lapse rate ($dT/dlog P$) and molecular abundance.
