Context. During the past few years, eclipse exoplanet spectroscopy has enabled the detection of H2O, CH4, CO2, and CO in the atmosphere of hot jupiters and neptunes. At the same time, ~40 likely large terrestrial planets are announced or confirmed. Two of these are transiting, and another is deemed habitable. Therefore the potential for eclipse spectroscopy of terrestrial planets with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has become an active field of study.
