The first 10 modes of eigenmaps as identified by PCA for the Warm Jupiter case, at a range of obliquities in the sky plane (ψ sky). The maps shown here are purely latitudinal, i.e., are insensitive to rotation rate, to show the effects of axial orientation alone. We show the maps in a Mollweide projection that shows all longitudes and latitudes. The reference hemisphere, which is the hemisphere that faces the observer at the midpoint phase of ingress, is centered in each projection and outlined with a dotted white circle. Green dashed contours represent the equator and ±45° latitude lines, with arrows indicating the direction of rotation.
