Student paper day! Kleisioti+ on “Direct detectability of tidally heated exomoons by photometric orbital modulation” where she shows that a tidally locked #exomoon with a volcano can be detected with #JWST and two IR bands, even if it’s NOT transiting its parent exoplanet 🔭🪐 #astrodon

A periodogram showing a large peak due to the rotational modulation of clouds on the exoplanet, and much smaller but significant peaks due to an orbiting exomoon with one or more volcanes on it.
