Plasma chemistry and electron-moderated pathways in substellar atmospheres: a new perspective on the L/T transition
Matthew I. Swayne, Declan A. Diver, Craig R. Stark
The long-standing puzzle of the CO/CH transition in brown dwarfs endures. Although the bulk spectral evolution across an atmosphere can be accounted for through thermal equil…

Electrostatic instability of non-spherical dust in sub-stellar clouds
Craig R. Stark, Declan A. Diver, Matthew I. Swayne
Charged dust clouds play an important role in the evolution of sub-stellar atmospheres through electrical discharges such as lightning events or inter-grain discharges. The consequ…
