Upper panel: emission spectrum of a synthetic, self-consistent model of HR 8799e. The petitCODE calculation is shown as a black solid line, whereas the petitRADTRANS calculations, with and without scattering, are shown as red solid, and light red dashed lines, respectively. Lower panel: self-consistent atmospheric structure used for generating the spectra, showing the temperature (black solid line), cloud mass fractions (red lines), and cloud particle radii (blue lines) for MgSiO₃ (solid lines) and Fe (dashed lines).
