Super useful stuff from @jlothringer.bsky.social! Now that we're starting to measure compositions with decent precision it's important to worry about what we mean by 'solar' or 'metallicity', and make sure that we're comparing apples to apples!
We've collected 65 individual exoplanet atmosphere composition measurements to look for population-level trends 🔭 #exoplanets
To do this, we had to create a toolkit to standardize between definitions of . We call it ExoComp. (Yes, that's a Star Trek reference 😀).
