Posterior distributions from MCMC fits to the dayside spectrum (orange) and the transmission spectrum (green). For each model, the x-axis shows the metallicity distribution. For the cloudy model we plot the sedimentation efficiency fsed on the y-axis and for the haze models we plot the logarithm of the haze formation rate η (in g cm−2 s −1 ) on the y-axis. The three isodensity lines denote the 1-, 2-, and 3-σ-limits of the posteriors. An extra monochromatic offset parameter was used to fit transmission spectra. Correlations with that parameter are not displayed here. None of the posterior samples here have χ 2 ν < 1.6 for both spectra simultaneous -- astro-ph.EP

Probing Reflection From Aerosols with the near-infrared dayside spectrum of WASP-80b

The presence of aerosols is intimately linked to the global energy budget and composition of planet atmospheres.
