Latitudinal Asymmetry in the Dayside Atmosphere of WASP-43b

We present two-dimensional near-infrared temperature maps of the canonical hot Jupiter WASP-43b using a phase-curve observation with JWST NIRSpec/G395H. From the white-light planetary transit, we improve constraints on the planet’s orbital parameters and measure a planet-to-star radius ratio of 0.15...
