Evidence item
The atmospheric evidence comes from a cool dayside brightness temperature, while the spectrum cannot constrain composition. MEASUREMENT

Exact excerpt
We measure the white-light eclipse depth to be 38 ± 11 ppm, more than 5σ lower than the expected eclipse depth of a dark, maximally hot bare rock. We use this to derive a dayside brightness temperature that is best explained by the presence of an atmosphere... The corresponding dayside emission spectrum is not precise enough to constrain atmospheric composition.
