  Detailed models are compared to recent infrared observations of the nearby
extrasolar planet, HD 189733b. It is demonstrated that atmospheric water is
present and that the planet's day side has a non-isothermal structure down to
gas pressures of ~ 0.1 bars. Furthermore, model spectra with different amounts
of CO are compared to the observations and an atmosphere absent of CO is
excluded at roughly 2-sigma. Constraining the CO concentration beyond that is
unfortunately not possible with the current Spitzer photometry. However,
radically enhanced (or depleted) metal abundances are unlikely and the basic
composition of this planet is probably similar to that of its host star. When
combined with Spitzer observations, a recent ground-based upper limit for the
K-band day side flux allows one to estimate the day-to-night energy
redistribution efficiency to be ~ 43%.
