*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.
