Abstract

Extrasolar planets: a hot and steamy 'Jupiter' A long-term series of observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope has generated the highest quality spectrum so far obtained for an extrasolar planet. Previous spectra of the 'hot Jupiter' HD 189733b did not detect the predicted abundance of water vapour in the atmosphere, but the new data reveal strong water absorption in a mid-infrared emission spectrum. The differences between these and the earlier observations point to the possibility that predicted planetary-scale dynamical weather structures might alter the emission spectrum over time.
