could be reported, however the study notes the small wavelength region analysed. The presence of AlO points to a rich atmosphere chemistry in WASP-43b, possibly leading up to complex metal-oxide clusters similar to AGB star envelopes .]{} [@20VePaBl.wasp43b] present the JWST WASP-43b atmosphere consortium paper with predictions for atmospheric structures, the most important kinetic gas-phase species and cloud properties.

In this paper, we apply a hierarchical modelling approach where we study kinetic cloud formation, kinetic gas and hydrocarbon haze chemistry by utilizing the output from a 3D GCM for WASP-43b. We demonstrate that WASP-43b is not cloud free. We model the formation and explore the properties of two chemically different cloud particle ensembles, mineral cloud particles and hydrocarbon hazes, that form by distinctly different processes. One of the most remarkable differences is that mineral cloud particles form from an oxygen-rich gas and that hydrocarbon hazes require the presence of the hydrocarbon precursors such as $\mathrm{CH_4}$ in the same oxygen-rich, atmospheric environment. We make suggestions about their composition, particle sizes and derive implications for the gas phase composition to be expected in chemical equilibrium, but also for the C/H/O/N chemistry calculated from photochemical modelling.

Our results suggest that WASP-43b is covered
