Abstract

Detailed atmospheric analysis of extrasolar planets was probably not conceived before the discovery of the existence of close-in giant exoplanets, also called hot Jupiters. The discovery of 51 Pegb in 1995 and the detection of the first transiting hot Jupiter HD 209458b in 2000 changed the paradigm and convinced the community that exoplanet atmosphere characterization was no more out of reach. Along with HD 209458b, the hot Jupiter HD 189733b, discovered five years later, opened the way to studies of exoplanetary atmosphere. These two transiting planets are the best-studied hot Jupiters to date. The discovery of HD 189733 was a mixture of perseverance, good timing, and good fortune. The characterization of its atmosphere was a long road, full of pitfalls.
