Dust cloud lightning in extraterrestrial atmospheres
Christiane Helling, Moira Jardine, Declan Diver +1
Lightning is present in all solar system planets which form clouds in their atmospheres. Cloud formation outside our solar system is possible in objects with much higher temperatur…
Spectroscopy across the brown dwarf/planetary mass boundary - I. Near-infrared JHK spectra
J. Patience, R. R. King, R. J. De Rosa +5
With a uniform VLT SINFONI data set of nine targets, we have developed an empirical grid of J,H,K spectra of the atmospheres of objects estimated to have very low substellar masses…
The influence of non-isotropic scattering of thermal radiation on spectra of brown dwarfs and hot exoplanets
R. J. de Kok, Ch. Helling, D. M. Stam +2
(abridged) We calculate near-infrared thermal emission spectra using a doubling-adding radiative transfer code, which includes scattering by clouds and haze. Initial temperature pr…
