Our WHT transmission spectrum with forward models overplotted. The green and yellow models were generated using EXO-TRANSMIT and correspond to subsolar and solar atmospheres with Rayleigh-scattering slopes enhanced by factors of 15 and 10, respectively. The blue line corresponds to a Rayleigh-scattering slope at the equilibrium temperature of the planet (1116 K; Faedi et al. 2011). The gray dashed line shows a flat transmission spectrum resulting from a cloud deck. Each model has 19 degrees of freedom. Note that these models have been offset in y to match the mean RP/R*.
