Query: Theory for the Secondary Eclipse Fluxes, Spectra, Atmospheres, and Light
  Curves of Transiting Extrasolar Giant Planets   We have created a general methodology for calculating the
wavelength-dependent light curves of close-in extrasolar giant planets (EGPs)
as they traverse their orbits. Focussing on the transiting EGPs HD189733b,
TrES-1, and HD209458b, we calculate planet/star flux ratios during secondary
eclipse and compare them with the Spitzer data points obtained so far in the
mid-infrared. We introduce a simple parametrization for the redistribution of
heat to the planet's nightside, derive constraints on this parameter (P_n), and
provide a general set of predictions for planet/star contrast ratios as a
function of wavelength, model, and phase. Moreover, we calculate average
dayside and nightside atmospheric temperature/pressure profiles for each
transiting planet/P_n pair with which existing and anticipated Spitzer data can
be used to probe the atmospheric thermal structure of severely irradiated EGPs.
We find that the baseline models do a good job of fitting the current secondary
eclipse dataset, but that the Spitzer error bars are not yet small enough to
discriminate cleanly between all the various possibilities.
