Scientists have spotted two water worlds, Kepler-138 c and Kepler-138 d, that they think could be teeming with water.

In this section we show the results from the retrievals on the grid of different input spectra (see Table 1) assuming the baseline parameters listed in Table 2.

We start by discussing the details of the input spectra that were used in this study (Section 2.1). We then discuss the updates on the Bayesian retrieval routin

Using nulling interferometry, LIFE will allow us to constrain the radius and effective temperature of (terrestrial) exoplanets

We discuss the impact of the quality of the data on the retrievals in Section 4.3 and the systematic effects for the retrieval runs in Section 4.4.

Corner plots for the retrieval runs at the reference R and S/N are shown in this section. We grouped both the cloudy and the clear sky retrievals for each epoch

As discussed in Mollière et al. (2020), petitRADTRANS was updated to treat scattering. This was done using the Feautrier method (Feautrier 1964).

First of all, we plan to work on a study that will take advantage of the model selection potential that Bayesian retrievals have to offer.

In Figures D.1 and D.2 we show the retrieved exoplanet parameters and abundances for the different scenarios with varying R and S/N values.
