A subset of retrieval posteriors from simulated Atmos exo-Titan, the TRAPPIST-1 h data for a Titan-like atmosphere obtained using the POSEIDON model. The agnostic bulk gas assumption afforded by the CLR prior formalism leads to the incorrect assessment that CH4 is the bulk gas. However, the true N2-dominated Titan atmosphere (black lines and points) does exist within posterior volume along a stark CH4-N2 degeneracy that is mediated by temperature.
