The Effect of Stellar Magnetic Activity on Measurements of Morning and Evening Asymmetry of Planetary Terminator

The Effect of Stellar Magnetic Activity on Measurements of Morning and Evening Asymmetry of Planetary Terminator

Differences in the ingress and egress shapes of transit light curves can indicate morning–evening temperature contrasts on transiting planets. Here, we pinpoint an alternative mechanism that can introduce asymmetries in transit light curves, potentially affecting the accurate determination of mornin...
