Nitrogen chemistry candidate spectra. Best-fitting transmission spectra (plotted at R = 5000) from three atmospheric retrievals are shown: no nitrogen chemistry (blue), including NH3 (red), and including HCN (orange). Spectra are shown only where the transit depth excess of NH3 or HCN in the best-fitting model exceeds 30 ppm. The dark curves are smoothed model representations.
