KElT-16b is highly irradiated due to its host star. This makes the temperature of KELT-16b around 2453 Kelvin. It is possible that KELT-16b may be driving inward towards its star due to Kozai-livdov oscillations (Kozai mechanism).^[1] The atmosphere of KELT-16b is probably more Oxygen-rich then Carbon-rich.^[3]
