Condensation Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres with Virga
Natasha E. Batalha, Caoimhe M. Rooney, Channon Visscher +14
Here we present an open-source cloud model for substellar atmospheres, called Virga. The Virga-v0 series has already been widely adopted in the literature. It is written in Python…
Spherical Harmonics for the 1D Radiative Transfer Equation II: Thermal Emission
Caoimhe M. Rooney, Natasha E. Batalha, Mark S. Marley
Approximate methods to estimate solutions to the radiative transfer equation are essential for the understanding of atmospheres of exoplanets and brown dwarfs. The simplest and mos…
Spherical Harmonics for the 1D Radiative Transfer Equation I: Reflected Light
Caoimhe M. Rooney, Natasha E. Batalha, Mark S. Marley
A significant challenge in radiative transfer theory for atmospheres of exoplanets and brown dwarfs is the derivation of computationally efficient methods that have adequate fideli…
A New Sedimentation Model for Greater Cloud Diversity in Giant Exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs
Caoimhe M. Rooney, Natasha E. Batalha, Peter Gao +1
The observed atmospheric spectrum of exoplanets and brown dwarfs depends critically on the presence and distribution of atmospheric condensates. The Ackerman & Marley (2001) method…
