Retrieved Atmospheres and Inferred Surface Properties for Terrestrial Exoplanets Using Transmission and Reflected-light Spectroscopy

Future astrophysics missions will seek extraterrestrial life via transmission and direct-imaging observations. To assess habitability and biosignatures, we need robust retrieval tools to analyze observed spectra, and infer surface and atmospheric properties with their uncertainties. We use a novel r...
