Geometric albedo of hot Jupiters measured by instruments sensitive in the mid-optical, i.e. Kepler (as reported by Angerhausen et al. 2015, blue) and CHEOPS (Brandeker et al. 2022 and this work, orange) vs effective temperature. The green line at A_g = 0.12 approximates the ‘dark roaster’ regime with very low optical geometric albedos (Sudarsky et al. 2000). Kepler-7b is a prominent outlier, even when taking into account a recent update on its albedo (alt, Heng et al. 2021). Its unusually bright albedo may be explained by reflection of clouds at the planetary limbs (Adams et al. 2022).
