![Range of best-fit phase curve and eclipse models for TRAPPIST-1 b and c. The detrended data are shown with gray dots and binned data with black dots. Red curves show the light curve model for each JWST program that observed TRAPPIST-1 b and c at 15µm using MIRI F1500W; the shading spans the range of models drawn from the posterior distribution of the day flux, night flux and phase offset for planets b and c from Analysis # 1 at 2-σ. The top panel shows the phase curve from GO 3077; the second row displays the five visits from GO 1177 (PI: Greene); and the third row presents the four visits from GO 2304 (PI: Kreidberg), along with a zoom-in on the double occultation observed in GO 3077. The expected transit and eclipse timings for each planet from [19] are shown in vertical dashed and plain lines respectively (purple for b, orange for c, and green for g). -- astro-ph.EP](https://astrobiology.newspackstaging.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/First-JWST-Thermal-Phase-Curves.png)
