Very Hot Jupiter Discovered (Dec 2005)
''The nearest transiting planet which has a smaller period than most known planets was discovered by the ELODIE metallicity-biased search. It is the second transiting planet discovered bright enough to expect detailed measurements of its temperature and atmosphere to be made.'' http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2005A%26A...444L..15B&db_key=AST&data_type=HTML&format=&high=4481e0517d32374 http://skytonight.com/news/3310756.html?showAll=y&c=y

Temperature Taken (Feb 2006)
''Planet b's temperature was taken by Spitzer. This is the first time infrared light has been detected from an exoplanet.'' http://space.newscientist.com/article/dn8761--our-closest-exoplanet-has-its-temperature-taken.html http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Spitzer_Takes_Temperature_of_Closest_Exoplanet.html

Parameters Refined (Apr 2006)
The radius and mass are refined, showing it does not have as anomalous radius as first thought. http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2006ApJ...650.1160B&db_key=AST&data_type=HTML&format=&high=4545eb628e16452

Diameter Directly Measured (Jan 2007)
Planet b becomes the first exoplanet to have its diameter measured through direct means. http://www.chara.gsu.edu/CHARA/Slides/PressRelease.pdf

Infrared Spectrum of Planet b Probed (Feb 2007)
''Its atmosphere was probed along with HD 209458 b's, but water was not detected in either planet. Clouds of Silicate could be preventing its detection though.'' http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/Media/releases/ssc2007-04/release.shtml http://planetary.org/news/2007/0221_Spitzer_Captures_the_Light_from_Dry.html http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=517264 http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200703.html http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2007/planet.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/02/22/nalien22.xml http://sciencenow.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2007/221/1 http://www.reuters.com/article/scienceNews/idUSN2020396420070222 http://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/custom/space/orl-mplanets2207feb22,0,4084177.story?coll=orl-news-headlines-space http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2007/feb/HQ_0748_Spitzer.html

Temperature Map Shows Heat Distributed Efficiently (May 2007)
A temperature map determined that its night and day side hemispheres had only slightly different temperatures, showing that its atmosphere was efficient at transporting heat. http://fr.arxiv.org/abs/0705.0993 http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/press/2007/pr200713.html
