- Author contribution statement
- Mayne contributed to the development of the observation application through theoretical simulations and synthetic observations, using a 1D radiative-convective model developed in Exeter (ATMO). Crucially, these simulations allowed the lead author to develop the successful observing programme and achieve the science goal of using ground-based short wavelength observations to constrain exoplanet atmospheric compositions. Mayne also contributed to analysis of the results, which included further use of simulations derived using the ATMO model, and contributed to the writing of the manuscript.
