Extended Data Fig. 6. A summary of precomputed forward model fits to the NIRISS/SOSS spectrum.

Extended Data Fig. 6

a, Each coloured line shows the best-fit spectrum from the PICASO, ATMO and PHOENIX cloudy grid. The χ2 values per number of data points (Nobs = 327) are χ2/Nobs = 2.98, 3.24 and 3.51 for the PICASO, ATMO and PHOENIX grids, respectively. All grid models consistently indicate a super-solar metallicity of M/H = 1–2 and a sub-solar C/O ratio. b, The same as the top panel but for the best-fit clear atmosphere models. The clear models yield noticeably worse fits to the data, χ2/Nobs = 7.02, 4.11 and 8.55 for the PICASO, ATMO and PHOENIX grids, respectively, which strongly indicates the presence of clouds in the atmosphere.
