The Spitzer Space Telescope has revolutionized the observational characterization of exo-planets by detecting infrared emission from hot Jovian systems. The detection of infrared emission from hot Jovian exoplanets has stimulated extensive theoretical work on the atmospheric structure and emission of these planets. Constraining the model predictions for infrared emission from hot Jovian atmospheres is an important motivation for current and future observing programs. Though (broad-band) photometric detections of the emission of planetary atmosphere mark a huge leap in our capabilities to study exo-planets, these detections do not provide us with detailed information on the atmospheric chemistry and temperature structure. For this spectra are needed. Spectral characterization of hot Jovian exo-planets is, therefore, a high priority and is essential for understanding atmospheric composition and properties. In this presentation we discuss the current observational capabilities with Spitzer, HST and ground based facilities, and give an outlook into future JWST observations.
