Tier 1 Ariel spectra suffice for sub-1.5 dex constraints on H2O and CO2 in giant-planet atmospheres, with higher tiers providing only incremental gains and more molecules in select cases.
WASP-96b shows super-solar metallicity of 2-6x stellar, roughly stellar C/O, tentative SO2 consistent with photochemistry, and an optical slope from scattering aerosols, supporting core-accretion formation beyond the water snowline.
Archival MIRI imaging reaches contrasts of 10^-3 to 10^-4 at 1-3 arcseconds, enabling detection of ~170 K Jupiter-sized planets at separations >35 AU around M-dwarfs at 12.5 pc, with no new planets found but useful sensitivity maps produced.
The paper reviews physical processes, modeling techniques, retrieval methods, and observational strategies for characterizing exoplanet atmospheres, emphasizing Swiss research progress.
