![Haze (tholin and soot) models from Jacobs et al. (2023) for two metallicities: [M/H] = 0 (solid) and [M/H] = 1 (dashed). The various formation rates are shown in cool colors for the tholins and in warm colors for the soots. The haze models are compared to the NIRISS/SOSS eclipse spectrum of WASP-80 b. If the aerosols are hazes, they could consist of soots or tholins, with formation rates for tholins most likely lower than 10−11.5g cm−2 s−1. -- astro-ph.EP](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/A-Moderate-Albedo-From-Reflecting-Aerosols.png?resize=1200%2C719&ssl=1)
Secondary eclipse observations of exoplanets at near-infrared wavelengths enable the detection of thermal emission and reflected stellar light, providing insights into the thermal structure and aerosol composition of their atmospheres.

The Role of Cloud Particle Properties on WASP-39b Transmission Spectrum Based on JWST/NIRSpec Observations
Aerosols are capable of having a huge influence on reflected, emitted and transmitted planetary spectra. The Near InfraRed Spectrograph (NIRSpec) using the PRISM mode on board of the James Webb […]
