Effect of albedo and eccentricity on the light curve. This graph shows the planet/star contrast ratio as a function of the orbital phase for different values of (e,A). All these models give the same flux (131 ppm) for a phase angle of 35°, which is the average value for the out-of-eclipse Spitzer observations by D12. Calculations are done with the nominal value σp and the orbital parameters and planetary mass from Endl et al. (2012). The short-dashed and full lines are for a uniform temperature (perfect redistribution of heat) while there is no redistribution in the three other cases.
