Evidence of nitrogen chemistry in WFC3 hot Jupiter transmission spectra. Left: weak detection of NH3 in WASP-31b (2.2σ). Right: weak detection of HCN in WASP-63b (2.3σ). The blue spectra result from removing nitrogen-bearing molecules from the best-fitting model. The dark curves are smoothed model representations.
