Influence of stellar contamination on K2-18 b retrievals. Top: two POSEIDON retrieval models for the low-resolution FIREFLy data variant, one including a planetary atmosphere and stellar contamination (orange) and an alternative atmosphere-only model (purple). Bottom: corresponding posterior distributions for the CH4, CO2, and DMS abundances. The inferred atmospheric composition is insensitive to whether or not stellar contamination is included.
