The atmosphere of TOI-1130b shows high metallicity, low C/O, and elevated mean molecular weight consistent with ex-situ formation beyond the water ice line.
Atmospheric retrievals yield C/O = 0.57±0.01, [M/H] = 0.18±0.05, and 12CO/13CO ≈ 95 for 2MASS J0249-0557 c, matching benchmark brown dwarfs and favoring star-like gravitational collapse over disk accretion.
Simulations indicate that order-of-magnitude changes in TiO2 and SiO2 abundances in lava melts produce distinguishable TiO, SiO, and SiO2 features in dry lava planet emission spectra, potentially observable with 12 JWST eclipses for the brightest targets.
The paper identifies key unresolved questions in giant planet formation, interiors, and their role in planetary systems.
