WASP-94 A b had no page. It now has one, with its star WASP-94 A and the companion star WASP-94 B, and it opens on the climate model its JWST paper released: temperature at 1 millibar in the Met Office Unified Model run of Mukherjee et al. (2025), labelled as a model. Sources, method and numbers: body README.

Shared changes it needed: a NetCDF-4 reader behind netcdf-lonlat-field, with isobar to read a field at one pressure; new-object --simulation takes a model file inside a ZIP release; the zip-member restore streams to disk (it failed above 512 MB); the generator writes a new host's system package, so a new host bakes from a clean checkout; the drafted text counts a host's own planets, not the star pair's.

Proves the change: the reader and h5py agree to the last digit on the released file. At 1 millibar the evening edge is 289 K hotter than the morning edge at the equator and 263 K over all latitudes; the paper states about 300 K and 265 K.

Limits: a model without clouds, not a measurement. The paper's cloud map is not in the release.

Prepared assets

  • Baked wasp-94-a, wasp-94-a-b, cd-34-14724-b.
  • Published the bytes.
  • Committed the refreshed inventories, and no baked files.

Clean: netcdf, simulation-dataset, new-object, package-parent, operations-acquisition and object-tree tests; prepare-navigation --catalog-only; package type checks; ESLint.

PR rules.
