Constraints on <i>TESS</i> albedos for five hot Jupiters

Photometric observations of occultations transiting exoplanets can place important constraints on the thermal emission and albedos their atmospheres. We analyse photometric measurements derive geometric albedo ($A_\mathrm{g}$) for five hot Jupiters observed with TESS in optical: WASP-18 b, WASP-36 WASP-43 WASP-50 b WASP-51 b. For our results are complemented by a VLT/HAWK-I observation near-infrared at $2.09~\mu$m. first b: $A_\mathrm{g}<0.445$ $A_\mathrm{g}<0.368$, respectively. find that both consistent low ($A_\mathrm{g}<0.16$) even though they lie opposite ends Jupiter temperature range equilibrium temperatures $\sim1400$ K $\sim2500$ K, report self-consistent atmospheric models which explain broadband planets from TESS, \HST, \Spitzer VLT/HAWK-I. data be explained alone inefficient day-night energy redistribution. The do not require optical scattering clouds/hazes, observed.
