Extended Data Fig. 4: Forward model and retrieved spectrum compared to YSES-1 c spectrum.

From: Silicate clouds and a circumplanetary disk in the YSES-1 exoplanet system

Extended Data Fig. 4

Left panel: the pressure-temperature profile for the nearest ExoRem grid point to the best-fit parameters, and a 90% confidence region for the pressure-temperature profile as inferred by the pRT retrieval. The dashed line indicates the emission contribution function averaged across wavelength. Most of the flux is emitted between 0.01 and 0.03 bar, just above the location of the silicate cloud layer whose optical depth is indicated by the purple shading. Also shown are representative condensation curves for MgSiO3, Mg2SiO4 and Fe, all of which are expected to condense deeper in the atmosphere than what is found by the retrieval. Right panel: the best-fit ExoRem forward model and the maximum-likelihood model from the pRT retrieval are compared to the observed spectrum of YSES-1 c.
