Scientific paper

We present the results of a Spitzer campaign to measure the day-night temperature differences of planets in the brightest known `Hot Jupiter' systems. We use the MIPS instrument at 24 microns, making use of the zodiacal background as a flux reference. Initial results suggest the presence of significant day-night temperature differences on these planets. We will also discuss some of the preliminary implications of these measurements.
