# TESS Program G03280 Title: Searching For Inhomogeneous Cloud Cover On Hot Jupiters PI: Kaye, Laurel - University Of Oxford Type: SMALL Summary: Clouds are highly ubiquitous in planetary systems, and their abundance and configuration greatly impacts our ability to constrain their atmospheres. Large east/west temperature gradients in planets with equilibrium temperatures of around 1500K are predicted to lead to the accumulation of asymmetric equatorial clouds, and observations of asymmetric optical phase curves in a handful of planets lend initial evidence in support of this east/west discrepancy. Another, more recently proposed method for detecting these clouds suggests that residuals will appear in the primary transits themselves when fit to light curves that fail to take into account cloud inhomogenieties. We propose to use TESS's 20 second cadence to search for these effects in several hot Jupiters with large atmospheric scale h # Sector 027 targets observed (2 min: 3, 20 s: 3) 92352620,313.7833,-34.1358,9.64,G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 028 targets observed (2 min: 2, 20 s: 2) 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 029 targets observed (2 min: 2, 20 s: 2) 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 030 targets observed (2 min: 3, 20 s: 3) 178155732,42.9852,-30.8139,5.91,G03278;G03227;G03280;G03106;G03251;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 031 targets observed (2 min: 4, 20 s: 4) 178155732,42.9852,-30.8139,5.91,G03278;G03227;G03280;G03106;G03251;20SECONDTARGET 170634116,66.3709,-30.6004,9.68,G03276;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 032 targets observed (2 min: 3, 20 s: 3) 170634116,66.3709,-30.6004,9.68,G03276;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 033 targets observed (2 min: 4, 20 s: 4) 134537478,108.3014,-42.4098,10.39,G03232;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 22529346,107.6002,-39.0972,10.06,G03276;G03232;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 034 targets observed (2 min: 5, 20 s: 5) 134537478,108.3014,-42.4098,10.39,G03232;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 22529346,107.6002,-39.0972,10.06,G03276;G03232;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 268644785,117.415,-52.1205,10.68,G03232;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 035 targets observed (2 min: 1, 20 s: 1) 268644785,117.415,-52.1205,10.68,G03232;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 036 targets observed (2 min: 3, 20 s: 3) 268644785,117.415,-52.1205,10.68,G03232;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 037 targets observed (2 min: 2, 20 s: 2) 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 038 targets observed (2 min: 2, 20 s: 2) 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET # Sector 039 targets observed (2 min: 2, 20 s: 2) 25155310,63.375,-69.2265,10.61,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03106;20SECONDTARGET 149603524,87.1398,-63.9883,9.71,G03080;G03278;G03280;G03181;G03106;20SECONDTARGET
