2 Method. Model reflected light from extrasolar planets (as if they were Jupiter or Saturn) Rings? (yes!) Inclination? (often yes) Clouds? (sometimes) Model reflected light from extrasolar planets (as if they were Jupiter or Saturn) Rings? (yes!) Inclination? (often yes) Clouds? (sometimes) Can we detect: Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

3 Phase light curve of the orbiting planet Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

4 Full-disk albedo (Lp/L*)X (Planet radius)²/(Orbital distance) ² For Saturn at 1 AU : 1.6 X 10 -7 Azimuth of the planet along the orbit (deg.) Jupiter versus Saturn (orbit seen edge-on ) Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

5 Saturn as seen by Cassini spacecraft Surface scattering properties measured by Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

6 Full-disk albedo (L p /L * )X (Planet radius)²/(Orbital distance) ² Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390 Modeled phase light curves (edge-on)

10 Inclination: i=0° (face on) Eccentric orbits. No rings Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

11 Inclination: i=10° Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

12 Inclination: i=45° Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

13 Inclination: i~90° (edge on) Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

14 Argument of pericentre: ω=0° To observer Orientation of the orbital plane - Argument of Pericentre Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

15 To observer Argument of pericentre: ω=-90° Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

16 To observer Argument of pericentre: ω=90° Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

17 Example - HD 108147b Extra solar planet discovered by Pepe, Mayor, et al (2002, A&A, 388, 632). Properties: –Semi-major axis = 0.104 AU –Period = 10.9 days –Eccentricity = 0.498 –Argument of pericentre = -41° –Inclination = ? Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

18 Light curve for HD 108147b with Jupiter’s surface Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390 pericentre

19 Light curve for HD 108147b viewed at different azimuth contrast t-shift Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390 pericentre

23 Observable t-shift for ringless planets at different geometries Sackett, Dyudina, et al. astro-ph/0406390

24 Rings? (yes!) Inclination? (often yes) Clouds? (sometimes) With light curves can we detect: : : Use of our predictions for planning observations Planet’s luminocity for many geometries Effects of Jupiter’s or Saturn’s clouds
