Elemental abundances and ratios in the atmosphere of WASP-96 b. Top row: derived elemental abundances for WASP-96 b’s atmosphere from each retrieval code (colored points) normalized to stellar values (N. K. Nikolov et al. 2022). For bounded constraints, the posterior median and 1σ confidence interval are shown. Otherwise, 3σ upper limits are plotted. The approximate locations of Jupiter and Saturn (sourced from S. K. Atreya et al. 2022) are marked with bold letters. Bottom row: abundance ratios derived from the above elemental constraints.
