Dayside planet-to-star flux ratios as a function of the wavelength for three atmospheric models (Fortney et al. 2008) per target. The orange diamonds and their error bars correspond to the Kepler and Warm-Spitzer observations. The blue models represent non-inverted atmospheres (no TiO) and no redistribution of the energy to the planetary nightside. The green models represent inverted atmospheres (with TiO) and no redistribution of the energy to the planetary nightside. The red models represent inverted atmospheres (with TiO) and with full redistribution of the energy to the planetary nightside. The temperature–pressure profiles corresponding to the models are presented in the encapsulated windows. Both targets are best fitted with non-inverted models which include dayside redistribution, also with an equivalent good fit for an inverted atmosphere for Kepler-6b.
