Bibiana Prinoth | Next up, we‘ve got Louis-Philippe Coulombe talking a reflected light and thermal emission phase curve of an exo-Neptune. Depending on the wavelength, we probe different chemistry, temperature, etc. regimes in the atmospheres of planets, see eg Jupiter. Often we need to observe at least twice or we just ignore reflected light, BUT # JWST can do both! They looked at the full phase curve of the planet LTT 9779 b, sitting in the Neptune Desert. 🏜️ And here are the light curves!! # ExSSV
