Scientific paper
Ten years after the discovery of 51 Peg b, our understanding of the evolution of "Pegasi planets" (a.k.a. "Hot Jupiters") has been shaken several times: by the discovery of the first transiting extrasolar planet, HD209458b and its large radius, the discovery of the evaporation of this planet, the measurement of the radii of several other extrasolar planets, and recently by measurements of the infrared planetary emission by the detection of the secondary eclipse for 2 Pegasides. I discuss the different theoretical explanations and models that have been proposed to explain the observations. Our understanding of Pegasides is far from complete, but great hope lies in statistical observations and characterization of transiting planets with ground based programs and the space missions COROT and Kepler.
