To date, no detection of the Lyman emission from the atmosphere of a hot Jupiter has been achieved, and no calculation of this emission is available in literature. In the absence of any precise computation, it is agreed that the contrast with the parent star emission is not favorable to this detection. If detected, this line would provide crucial information on the environment of the planet. A preliminary calculation of the emission of a hot Jupiter was presented in [1], but since then the model has been improved, in particular by the inclusion of the thermal emission and by the use of new atmospheric models, and thus contrasts observable from Earth have been evaluated for HD 209458b and HD 189733b. Besides, the Lyman cooling rates involved in the thermal balance of the atmosphere have been calculated and are shown to be one order of magnitude smaller than those who were used in previous studies.
