Scientific paper

We have recently discovered the first carbon-rich planetary atmosphere. In this talk, we will present the atmospheric composition and temperature structure of this exoplanet, along with the modeling technique that revealed the exotic atmosphere. We used a Bayesian analysis to constrain the atmospheric properties of this exoplanet based on broadband photometric observations. Carbon-rich planets present a new regime in atmospheric chemistry and temperature structure, planetary interiors, planet formation, and astrobiology. We will discuss these various aspects and their observable signatures.
