WASP-43b retrieval with PYRAT BAY of the Stevenson et al. (2017) and Mendonça et al. (2018) spectra at orbital phases of 0.25 (top), 0.5 (middle), and 0.75 (bottom). All panels follow the same color coding, where blue and orange correspond to the disk-integrated and longitudinally resolved analyses, respectively. The solid curves and shaded areas denote the median and 68% credible interval of the posterior distributions for the spectra (left panels) and temperature profiles (right panels). The colored markers with error bars show the data sets we fit (left panels). The longitudinally resolved data points have been slightly shifted in wavelength for better visibility. The inset panels zoom-in on the wavelengths observed by HST.
