A retrieval technique infers surface gas fluxes from exoplanet spectra via inversion of a photochemical-climate model, demonstrated on synthetic TRAPPIST-1 e data with an Archean-like biosphere.
LIFE mission simulations show that baselines of 25-80 m or even discrete values can achieve planet yield and fringe tracking with less than 10% performance loss compared to wider ranges.
