TL;DR: In this article, a simple energy balance model with eastward winds was used to demonstrate that H2 dissociation/recombination can significantly increase the day-night heat transport on ultra-hot Jupiters.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple energy balance model with eastward winds was proposed to study the effects of molecular hydrogen recombination on atmospheric heat recirculation. But the model was only applied to ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) where significant H$_2$ dissociation occurs.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a phase curve of KELT-9b observed with the Spitzer Space Telescope at 4.5 $\mu$m, which is the hottest known transiting planet.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an analysis of two sets of 3.6 and 4.5 μm Spitzer phase curve observations of the system which show clear evidence of infrared radiation from gas stripped from the planet, and the gas appears to be flowing directly toward or away from the host star.
