The evening- and morning-limb transmission spectra of WASP-107 b as observed by JWST NIRCam F322W2 (circles), NIRCam F444W (squares), and MIRI/LRS (triangles). The evening-limb spectrum is shown in orange, and the morning-limb spectrum in blue. The diagram in the lower left illustrates the orientation of each limb relative to WASP-107 b’s transit trajectory, but note that the bodies in the diagram are not to scale, they are not aligned to the true orbital geometry, and the exact shape of the colored slices do not accurately represent the true shape and scale of the limbs as probed in transmission. The NIRCam F322W2 portion of the spectrum shown here matches that first presented by M. M. Murphy et al. (2024b). In addition, while not shown, the combination of our morning and evening spectra are consistent with the panchromatic limb-combined spectrum of these instruments presented in L. Welbanks et al. (2024a).
