Fig. 3. Terminator-averaged theoretical transmission spectra.

Fig. 3

We show the transmission spectra averaged over the morning and evening terminators generated from 1D photochemical model results. a, Comparison with the NIRSpec PRISM FIREFly reduction8. b, Comparison with the NIRSpec G395H weighted-mean reduction9. c, Comparison with the current HST and VLT/FORS2 optical wavelength data19,37. The models show pronounced features at UV wavelengths owing to sulfur species compared with the model without S-bearing species (dashed blue line). d, Predicted spectra across the MIRI LRS wavelength range, with SO2 removed from the VULCAN output shown in grey to indicate its contribution. All of the spectral data show 1σ error bars and the standard deviations averaged (unweighted) over all reductions are shown for the NIRSpec G395H data.
