Left panel: theoretically calculated dayside emission from the 3D GCM expeRT/MITgcm for KELT-7b including TiO and VO as well as high magnetic drag (blue line) compared to the observational data (black dots). The model data are binned down for better comparison with the observational data (blue dots, assuming the same uncertainty as the observational data). The 3D GCM model agrees within 1σ with the CHEOPS and TESS observations. Right panel: associated dayside averaged T-P profile.
