The implicit prior (gray) and posterior distributions using results from the fits to the coadded ExoTiC-JEDI spectrum from retrievals with POSEIDON, assuming free chemistry and a clear (orange) or cloudy (red) atmosphere. Top: the posteriors for the atmospheric metallicity, [M/H]. Bottom: the posterior distributions for the C/O ratio. Chemical equilibrium retrievals tended to push the limits of their respective grids, but the free retrievals showed that the metallicity, while likely subsolar, remained dependent on the unconstrained presence of clouds. The C/O ratio is consistently supersolar and insensitive to the presence of clouds.
