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…

Evolution of spheroidal dust in electrically active sub-stellar atmospheres

Craig R. Stark, Declan A. Diver

Understanding the source of sub-stellar polarimetric observations in the optical and near-infrared is key to characterizing sub-stellar objects and developing potential diagnostics…

The effect of internal gravity waves on cloud evolution in sub-stellar atmospheres

Amy Parent, Ruth E. Falconer, Elspeth K. H. Lee +2

Sub-stellar objects exhibit photometric variability, which is believed to be caused by a number of processes, such as magnetically-driven spots or inhomogeneous cloud coverage. Rec…

Dust cloud evolution in sub-stellar atmospheres via plasma deposition and plasma sputtering

Craig R. Stark, Declan A. Diver

In contemporary sub-stellar model atmospheres, dust growth occurs through neutral gas-phase surface chemistry. Recently, there has been a growing body of theoretical and observatio…

Ionisation and discharge in cloud-forming atmospheres of brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets

Ch. Helling, P. B. Rimmer, I. M. Rodriguez-Barrera +3

Brown dwarfs and giant gas extrasolar planets have cold atmospheres with a rich chemical compositions from which mineral cloud particles form. Their properties, like particle sizes…

Particle-in-Cell Simulations of Collisionless Magnetic Reconnection with a Non-Uniform Guide Field

Fiona Wilson, Thomas Neukirch, Michael Hesse +2

Results are presented of a first study of collisionless magnetic reconnection starting from a recently found exact nonlinear force-free Vlasov-Maxwell equilibrium. The initial stat…
