Energy budget of WASP-43b. The blue region is the ﹩1\sigma ﹩ contour after our reanalysis. We also plot the best-fit values and uncertainties for WASP-43b before correcting the brightness maps and for HD 209458b, both from Schwartz et al. (2017). WASP-43b no longer hugs the bottom of the plot after our reanalysis, but is now similar to HD 209458b, which we would expect given the similar irradiation temperatures of the two planets (Cowan & Agol 2011; Perez-Becker & Showman 2013; Schwartz & Cowan 2015; Komacek & Showman 2016).
