Paper on the day-side temperature of KELT-1b, a low-mass brown dwarf

In a recent work by Prof. Carolina von Essen, with large contributions from our group from the side of Dr. Matthias Mallonn (and minor contributions from myself), we investigate the TESS phase curve and the dayside temperature of KELT-1b, which is a bit too heavy to still be called a planet and is therefore classified as a low-mass brown dwarf. From the abstract: We present the detection and analysis of the phase curve of KELT-1b at optical wavelengths, analyzing data…
