A recent study presents a thorough analysis of mid-infrared data collected on TRAPPIST-1 b to assess whether the planet has an atmosphere. Building on previous research, the authors focused on measuring the planet’s flux at a wavelength of 12.8 microns. They analyzed all available data from the JWST and compared the observations with different surface and atmospheric models. This comprehensive approach enabled them to identify the most accurate model that best matched the data, helping to determine the planet’s atmospheric characteristics.
