Abstract: For $ \psi$ analytic in the open unit disk and $ \varphi$ an analytic map from the unit disk into itself, the weighted composition operator $ C_{\psi,\varphi}$ is the operator on the weighted Hardy space $ H^{2}(\beta) $ given by $ (C_{\psi,\varphi}f)(z)=\psi(z)f(\varphi(z)).$ This paper discusses the spectrum of $ C_{\psi,\varphi}$ when it is compact on a certain class of weighted Hardy spaces and when the composition map $ \varphi$ has a fixed point inside the open unit disk.
