- Supplementary material for 'Why is it so Cold in Here?: Explaining the Cold Temperatures Retrieved from Transmission Spectra of Exoplanet Atmospheres' - ApJL (2020). This repository contains the posterior probability distributions from the retrievals in Sections 3 and 4 of MacDonald, Goyal, & Lewis (2020). The case studies are a typical 'warm', 'hot', and 'ultra-hot' Jupiter, along with self-consistent models of WASP-17b and WASP-12b. For each retrieval, the corner plot depicts correlations between pairs of retrieved parameters and marginalised histograms for each parameter. Red dashed lines and green squares indicate the true terminator-averaged parameter values used to generate the synthetic observations. The table inset compares the true values with retrieved inferences. Where parameters have clear upper and lower bounds, the median retrieved values and ±1σ confidence levels are given. Otherwise, parameter constraints are expressed as 2σ upper or lower bounds. For any questions, please contact: r.macdonald@astro.cornell.edu
