Retrieved transmission spectrum for HAT-P-11b. Retrieved median spectra for each wavelength range, ﹩{\lambda }_{\min }﹩ = 0.3 μm, ﹩{\lambda }_{\min }﹩ = 0.6 μm, and ﹩{\lambda }_{\min }﹩ = 1.1 μm, are displayed in purple, blue, and orange, respectively. Light and dark shaded regions correspond to the 1 and 2σ bounds. The data points show the observed spectrum, where the marker colors correspond to data above the minimum wavelength of the three retrievals, following the same color scheme as the retrieved spectra. The y-axis scale is expressed in atmospheric scale heights, H = k B T/μ g, where T is taken as the retrieved temperature from the ﹩{\lambda }_{\min }﹩ = 0.3 μm retrieval.
