Correction to: The climate and compositional variation of the highly eccentric planet HD 80606 b – the rise and fall of carbon monoxide and elemental sulfur

This is a correction to: Shang-Min Tsai, Maria Steinrueck, Vivien Parmentier, Nikole Lewis, Raymond Pierrehumbert, The climate and compositional variation of the highly eccentric planet HD 80606 b – the rise and fall of carbon monoxide and elemental sulfur, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, Volume 520, Issue 3, April 2023, Pages 3867–3886, https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad214.

In the originally published version of this manuscript, the following paragraph was erroneously included in the Introduction section:

‘Old: The discovered exoplanets exhibit a diverse eccentricity distribution beyond a semimajor axis of ∼0.1 au (Butler et al. 2006; Kane et al. 2012). Whereas the majority of short-period planets have circularized orbits owing to the strong tidal interaction (Pont et al. 2011), which dissipates eccentricity on a timescale that steeply shortens with the semimajor axis at a power-law rate (Goldreich & Soter 1966). The demographic of orbital eccentricity has been revealed through radial velocity (e.g. Shen & Turner 2008), transit (e.g. Shen & Turner 2008) surveys, and synthesis analysis (e.g. Kipping 2013). The eccentricity of planetary systems sheds light on formation history and dynamical evolution. Kane & von Braun (2009) have also shown that these eccentric planets on average have increasing transit and eclipse probability as compared to their circular-orbit counterparts with the same orbital period, making them ideal observation targets.’

This paragraph should have been removed.

This error has now been corrected.
