Simulated contributions of the three modulations to the phase-curve amplitude according to the phase angle. The modulation linked to atmospheric processes is shown in black and includes reflection and emission modulations. The ellipsoidal distortion is shown in purple, while the Doppler boosting is in orange. The overall contribution is shown by the composite phase-curve in yellow. Here, an eclipse would occur at the inferior conjunction, while the transit would happen at the superior conjunction with the observer.
