Abstract

Context.A new class of exoplanets has emerged: the ultra hot Jupiters, the hottest close-in gas giants. The majority of them have weaker-than-expected spectral features in the 1.1−1.7μm bandpass probed by HST/WFC3 but stronger spectral features at longer wavelengths probed bySpitzer. This led previo...
