Recently, the James Webb Space Telescope has enabled detailed spectroscopic characterization of sub-Neptune atmospheres. With detections of carbon- and oxygen-bearing species such as CO, CO _2 , CH _4 , and H _2 O, a central question is whether the atmospheric C/O ratio, commonly used to trace forma...
