Estimated C/O ratio of LTT9779b (red bowtie) shown alongside well-constrained JWST literature values for other exoplanets spanning a wide range of equilibrium temperatures (left panel). Step function fits, illustrating the onset of supersolar C/O ratios in ultrahot gas giants, are shown both including and excluding LTT9779b (median and 1σ confidence intervals), along with the corresponding fit posteriors (right panel).
