Title: The Epistemic Saliency of Exoplanet Atmosphere Retrieval Models
Abstract: Retrieval models are crucial in exoplanetary science, given the severe observational limitations inherent in the field. They are particularly indispensable for reconstructing the atmospheric conditions of exoplanets. But a pressing question remains: do they provide some form of epistemic evidence, or are they merely heuristic tools with a tenuous epistemic status? To assess this, I will analyze their hybrid nature, the kind of scientific reasoning they incorporate, and their representational function.
