Scientific paper

We propose to obtain a 7-15 micron IRS spectrum of the newly discovered, transiting extrasolar giant planet HD 189733b. The flux contrast is sufficiently high, and the parent star sufficiently nearby, that differential spectroscopy should yield a moderate signal-to-noise ratio spectrum in a relatively short amount of time. This would represent an enormous leap in our capabilities, ushering in a new era of detailed, quantitative spectral studies of nearby exoplanets.
