Mineral cloud formation above magma oceans in sub-Neptune atmospheres

Elspeth K. H. Lee, Aaron Werlen, Caroline Dorn

The potential presence of a magma surface below a thick atmosphere primarily composed of hydrogen in some sub-Neptune exoplanets suggests a strong link between the interior composi…

A tunable Monte Carlo method for mixing correlated-k opacities. PRAS: polynomial reconstruction and sampling

Elspeth K. H. Lee

Mixed-gas opacities are critical for radiative transfer in stellar and substellar atmospheres. Several approaches exist to obtain net k-coefficients for arbitrary mixtures, each tr…

Effects of the internal temperature on vertical mixing and on cloud structures in Ultra Hot Jupiters

Pascal A. Noti, Elspeth K. H. Lee

The vertical mixing in hot Jupiter atmospheres plays a critical role in the formation and spacial distribution of cloud particles in their atmospheres. This affects the observed sp…
