Scientific paper

I will present results from our ongoing program using the Wide-field Infrared Camera (WIRCam) on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) to detect thermal emission from hot Jupiters in the near-infrared. I'll present an in depth analysis of the highly irradiated hot Jupiter WASP-12b, by presenting reobservations of its secondary eclipse in the JHK-bands, as well as the first thermal emission measurement of a hot Jupiter in Y-band ( 1.04 microns). I'll also explore what the plethora of detections of the thermal emission of these planets in the near-infrared contributes to our understanding of the atmospheric characteristics of hot Jupiters as a class.
