Caption: Figure 7.
Posterior distribution of the bulk metallicity (Zplanet) inferred with thermal evolution models. The shaded olive region denotes the atmospheric metallicity (﹩{\mathrm{log}}[{\rm{M}}/{\rm{H}}]=-1.9﹩). The inferred bulk metallicity, much higher than the atmospheric metallicity, is incompatible with a homogeneously mixed planet.
