Scientific paper

We have derived physical diagnostics that can inform the direct detection and remote sensing programs of extrasolar giant planets (EGPs) now being planned or proposed. Stellar irradiation of the planet's atmosphere and the effects of water and ammonia clouds are incorporated in a consistent fashion. Whether an EGP is at wide or close-in separations from its parent star, direct detection will soon be possible and will yield centrally important physical and chemical constraints. Our theory of irradiated EGPs is being developed to meet this challenge.
