The orbital phases and secondary transit of Kepler-10b - A physical interpretation based on the Lava-ocean planet model -
In this presentation, we apply the Lava-ocean model that has been proposed for planets of the class of CoRoT-7b, i.e. rocky planets at a few stellar radii from their star, since Kepler-10b is a typical member of this family. The model predicts that the light from the planet has an important emission component in addition to the reflected one, even
