Fantastic work from Doriann Blain and @paulmolli on the new and improved pRT3 for exoplanet atmosphere modeling - this code is a joy to use!
Excited to announce petitRADTRANS Version 3 (pRT3). It comes with lots of quality-of-life improvements, automatic opacity downloading, more opacities, the new SpectralModel class for high-resolution spectra and data preparation, a Planet class, and so much more!

Check out this massive effort from @AstroEvert on the chemical composition of the HR 8799 planets. They're more metal-rich than planet formation models would predict - a puzzle!
