Summary of retrieval parameters and prior distributions for the free chemistry approach used in the cloud-free, gray cloud, and non-gray cloud models.

Parameter Symbol Prior type Prior value
Surface gravity log 𝑔 Uniform 3.0–6.0 cm/s2
Distance d Gaussian 21.14 ± 0.22 pc
Flux scaling factor f Uniform 0.1–5.0
Temperature at base of modeled atmosphere T1 Uniform 1000–5000 K
T -P profile coefficients(*) bi =1…6 Uniform 0.1–0.95
Error inflation term ln δ Uniform –10–1.0
Mixing ratio of species i xi log-uniform 10–12–0.1

Gray clouds
Pressure at top of cloud pt log-uniform 10–2–50 bar
Cloud base pressure scale factor bc log-uniform 1–10
Optical depth τ Uniform –10–20

Non-gray clouds
Pressure at top of cloud pt log-uniform 10–2–50 bar
Cloud base pressure scale factor bc log-uniform 1–10
Optical depth at reference wavelength τref Uniform –10–20
Particle size (dimensionless) with highest extinction Q0 log-uniform 1–100
Power-law index for small particles a0 Uniform 3–7
Particle size a log-uniform 0.1–50 µm

Notes. (*)The only, actually retrieved temperature T is the one at the bottom of the modeled atmosphere. For all other temperatures, we retrieve a parameter bi, such that, e.g., T2 = b1T1.
