Equatorial temperature maps for the 12 no thermal inversion simulations performed without optical absorbers (VO and TiO), corresponding to 12 values of T_eq. The day-night dichotomy is shallower than in Fig. 3 and the atmospheres extend less far because the scale heightsare smaller. The substellar point and the hottest region of the atmosphere for the hottest planets are shifted (see Table 2).
