Horizontal and vertical exoplanet thermal structure from a JWST spectroscopic eclipse map
Highly irradiated giant exoplanets known `ultrahot Jupiters' are anticipated to exhibit large variations of atmospheric temperature and chemistry as a function of longitude, latitude and altitude. Previous observations have hinted at these variations, but the existing data have been fundamentally restricted to probing hemisphere-integrated spectra
