Mass Loss from the Exoplanet WASP-12b Inferred from Spitzer Phase Curves

© 2019 The Author(s). The exoplanet WASP-12b is the prototype for the emerging class of ultrahot, Jupiter-mass exoplanets. Past models have predicted - and near-ultraviolet observations have shown - that this planet is losing mass. We present an analysis of two sets of 3.6 and 4.5 μm Spitzer phase c...
