==Atmospheric composition== Data collected from the Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescopes have provided evidence of titanium oxide and small amounts of water within the planet's atmosphere. Further analysis using higher-resolution spectra has revealed the presence of ionized elements such as lithium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, potassium, and iron. The existence of calcium was confirmed by the Gemini North Observatory in 2021; in 2022, barium was also detected.
