Fractal Aggregate Aerosols in the Virga Cloud Code I: Model Description and Application to a Benchmark Cloudy Exoplanet

Sarah E. Moran, Matt G. Lodge, Natasha E. Batalha +5

We introduce new functionality to treat fractal aggregate aerosol particles within the Virga cloud modeling framework. Previously, the open source cloud modeling code Virga (Batalh…

Aggregate Cloud Particle Effects in Exoplanet Atmospheres

Sanaz Vahidinia, Sarah E. Moran, Mark S. Marley +1

Aerosol opacity has emerged as a critical factor controlling transmission and emission spectra. We provide a simple guideline for the effects of aerosol morphology on opacity and r…

Cloud Base Signature in Transmission Spectra of Exoplanet Atmospheres

Sanaz Vahidinia, Jeffrey N. Cuzzi, Mark Marley +1

We present an analytical model for the transmission spectrum of a transiting exoplanet, showing that a cloud base can produce an observable inflection point in the spectrum. The wa…
