Systematic of WIRCam Staring Mode Photometry and results from our TETrES
Program on the Thermal Emission of hot Jupiters

 I will present results from our TETrEs Large program on the
near-infrared, thermal emission of hot Jupiters with WIRCam's Staring
Mode. I'll discuss the systematic effects that we've observed in our
WIRCam Staring Mode photometry; specifically, the limiting systematics
that prevent further near-infrared precision, including my problems
implementing a robust WIRCam non-linearity correction. I'll conclude with
what our WIRCam program teaches us about the near-infrared emission of hot
Jupiters, and briefly discuss the intriguing, evaporating Mercury-planet
candidate KIC 12557548b.
