Left panel: the T(P) profiles for a clear (red line) and cloudy (blue line) model for TOI-270 d’s atmosphere are shown along with condensation curves for several mineral cloud species. The thicker regions depict convective regions of the atmosphere, and the models have been computed for [M/H] = +2.3 and fsed = 0.5. Middle panel: the temperature difference between the cloudy and clear atmospheres as a function of pressure. Right panel: mass mixing ratio profiles as a function of pressure for the mineral cloud species considered in our models.
