Notes. Fill gas denotes the main constituent of the atmosphere. Scenario 1c has a composition similar to Neptune: an H2 -dominated atmosphere with 20% He (Williams et al. 2004), 1 ppb CO2 (Meadows et al. 2008), and 3% CH4 (Irwin et al. 2019). Scenario 10a has a CO2-dominated atmosphere with ~10 ppm H2 and He similar to Mars and Venus (Krasnopolsky & Gladstone 2005; Krasnopolsky & Feldman 2001). For each of the ten main scenarios regarding the main composition of the atmosphere we consider three different boundary conditions of CH4 (see text).
