Precipitating Condensation Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres
We present a method to calculate vertical profiles of particle size distributions in condensation clouds of giant planets and brown dwarfs. The method assumes a balance between turbulent diffusion and sedimentation in horizontally uniform cloud decks. Calculations for the Jovian ammonia cloud are compared with results from previous methods. An adjustable parameter describing the efficiency of s...
متن کاملPhotosynthesis in Hydrogen-Dominated Atmospheres
The diversity of extrasolar planets discovered in the last decade shows that we should not be constrained to look for life in environments similar to early or present-day Earth. Super-Earth exoplanets are being discovered with increasing frequency, and some will be able to retain a stable, hydrogen-dominated atmosphere. We explore the possibilities for photosynthesis on a rocky planet with a th...
متن کاملATOMIC IONIZATION AND OPACITIES IN PULSAR ATMOSPHERES Hydrogen Atmospheres
In the strong magnetic elds of typical radio pulsars atomic lines and photoionization edges lie in the soft X-ray part of the spectrum giving the dominant contribution to the opacity. Improved photoionization cross sections are presented for a hydrogen atmosphere and magnetic elds of 10 11 ? 10 13 G, exhibiting novel Beutler{Fano resonance features due to the contribution of autoionizing atomic...
متن کاملNotes on the convection in the ATLAS9 model atmospheres
The mixing-length theory for the convection, as it is used in the ATLAS9 code (Kurucz, 1993a), is summarized and discussed. We investigated the effect of the modification called “approximate overshooting” on the model structure of the Sun and of starswithTeff included between 4000Kand 8500K, log g included between 2.5 and 4.5, and metallicities [M/H]=0.0 and [M/H]=−3.0.We found that the Kurucz ...
متن کاملTwo white dwarfs with oxygen-rich atmospheres.
Stars with masses ranging from 7 to 10 times the mass of the Sun end their lives either as massive white dwarfs or weak type II supernovae, but there are only limited observational constraints on either evolutionary channel. Here we report the detection of two white dwarfs with large photospheric oxygen abundances, implying that they are bare oxygen-neon cores and that they may have descended f...
