We propose to use SQIID on the 2.1 meter at KPNO to observe the secondary eclipse of multiple transiting exoplanets simultaneously in the J, H, Ks, and L bands. Observations of the secondary eclipse yield a direct measurement of the planetary temperature, which constrains models of exoplanetary atmospheric dynamics and composition, and planetary evolution. Observations at multiple wavelengths further constrain the models, which is why SQIID is an ideal instrument for this project. Our group has recently obtained the first observations of exoplanet secondary eclipses from the ground, and have proven the feasibility of the technique. We request a total of 10 nights to observe multiple systems, and present several ranges of dates during which at least one secondary eclipse can be observed each night.
