To detect inhomogeneities in the thermal radiation of exoplanet HD209458b, based on observations of the Spitzer space telescope processing and modeling of the light curves of secondary transits (eclipses) were carried out. Current work is the basis for the mapping of the temperature distribution on the dayside of the exoplanet. Tidal and electromagnetic star-planet interactions, together with climate effects, lead to nonuniform heating of the surface. We obtained that the depth of the eclipse was 0.101±0.009% of the total flux of the system and is consistent with the results of other works.
