lightcurves and temperatures maps (as seen by the observer) for a circular orbit. a) These lightcurves are calculated for the default parameters (except for the eccentricity, which is null) and for different rotation periods. Tidal dissipation is not included. Only panel a) includes the case ω / n = 1 / 2. b) The lightcurves for ω / n = 3 / 2 and 3 are superimposed with that of ω / n = 2 because their thermal inertia has been modified in order to keep the quantity constant. c) same as b) but with the tidal dissipation included. d) same as c) but the half of the tidal dissipation is released in a localized hot spot. The temperature maps correspond to panel a). As in all following figures, these maps are displayed for the same orbit and duration as the lightcurves above and are separated by a constant time interval: one 24^th of the full duration (which can be 1 or 2 orbits depending on the figure). By default, time 0 corresponds to a phase angle of 90° (and periastron when e ≠ 0).
