Top: Sonora Flame Skimmer models for varying metallicity [M/H] keeping other atmospheric parameters fixed. Circles show the synthetic F444W flux for each model. The inverted triangle marks the NIRCam 5σ upper limit. Increasing metallicity boosts both the CO2 and CO feature strengths and suppresses the F444W flux. Bottom: same as the top panel but for varying strengths of disequilibrium chemistry (log Kzz), where 0 dex corresponds to a chemical equilibrium model. Increasing log Kzz (more vigorous mixing) boosts the strength of both the CO2 and CO features and suppresses the F444W flux.
