Scientific paper

We have observed the secondary eclipses and detected the thermal emission of a number of the hottest hot Jupiters in the near-infrared K-band using WIRCam on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope. These detections allow us to constrain the day-to-night-side redistribution of heat deep in their atmospheres, and define these planets' spectral energy distribution near the blackbody peaks. We have also attempted to detect the thermal emission of a few hot Jupiters in H and J-band and will present the constraints on the reradiation and advection of heat at these shorter wavelengths, and thus deeper in the atmospheres of these alien worlds.
