cds-question@unistra.frinfrared-photometrysolar-system-planetsmultiple-starsWe report the detection in Ks-band of the secondary eclipse of the hot Jupiter CoRoT-1b from time series photometry with the ARC 3.5m telescope at Apache Point Observatory. The eclipse shows a depth of 0.336+/-0.042% and is centered at phase 0.5022^+0.0023^_-0.0027_, consistent with a zero eccentricity orbit (e*cos{omega}=0.0035^+0.0036^_-0.0042_). We perform the first optical to near-infrared multi-band photometric analysis of an exoplanet's atmosphere and constrain the reflected and thermal emissions by combining our result with the recent 0.6, 0.71, and 2.09um secondary eclipse detections by Snellen et al. (2009Natur.459..543S), Gillon et al. (2009, J/A+A/506/359), and Alonso et al. (2009A&A...501L..23A). Comparing the multi-wavelength detections to state-of-the-art radiative-convective chemical-equilibrium atmosphere models, we find the near-infrared fluxes difficult to reproduce. The closest blackbody-based and physical models provide the following atmosphere parameters: a temperature T=2460^+80^_-160_K; a very low Bond albedo A_B_=0.000^+0.081^_-0.000_; and an energy redistribution parameter P_n_=0.1, indicating a small but nonzero amount of heat transfer from the day to nightside. The best physical model suggests a thermal inversion layer with an extra optical absorber of opacity {kappa}_e_=0.05cm^2^/g, placed near the 0.1 bar atmospheric pressure level. This inversion layer is located 10 times deeper in the atmosphere than the absorbers used in models to fit mid-infrared Spitzer detections of other irradiated hot Jupiters.2009ApJ...707.1707Rhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/707/1707CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicerelated-toJ/A+A/506/359 : FORS2 and HAWKI photometry of CoRoT-1 (Gillon+, 2009)J/A+A/482/L17 : CoRoT space mission.
