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.
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.
Confirmation of Fe I emission on MASCARA-5 b's dayside at 5.5 sigma significance using EXPRES, supporting a thermally inverted atmosphere with temperatures from ~2000 K to ~4500 K.
