Spectrum of TRAPPIST-1 h assuming it is a Titan-like atmosphere as observed by JWST with 2, 5, or 10 transits as derived by scaling the Cassini spectrum of Titan (colors) or from the Atmos self-consistent model (gray). Cassini spectra are offset for clarity while the Atmos model is aligned with the Cassini 10 transit spectrum at the reddest wavelength. The scaled data and self-consistent simulation differ most in the slope produced by hazes in the atmosphere.
