Maximum a posteriori retrieved transmission spectrum (black line) with the contributions, derived using POSEIDON, shown from stellar contamination (red line) and atmospheric opacity (blue line). The contributions from individual atmospheric species are shown with various colors (see legend). The transmission spectrum of TOI-5205b is characterized by strong stellar contamination throughout much of the 0.6–3.5 μm wavelength range, with evident absorption from the planetary atmosphere due to CH4 and H2S. No other molecular species were significantly detected in our retrievals (see Table 4).
