Water vapour in the atmosphere of a transiting extrasolar planet
Giovanna Tinetti, Alfred Vidal-Madjar, Mao-Chang Liang +10
Water is predicted to be among, if not the most abundant molecular species after hydrogen in the atmospheres of close-in extrasolar giant planets (hot-Jupiters) Several attempts ha…
Photolytically generated aerosols in the mesosphere and thermosphere of Titan
Mao-Chang Liang, Yuk L. Yung, Donald E. Shemansky
Analysis of the Cassini Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (UVIS) stellar and solar occultations at Titan to date include 12 species: N (nitrogen), CH (methane), CH…
Infrared Transmission Spectra for Extrasolar Giant Planets
G. Tinetti, M. C. Liang, A. Vidal-Madjar +3
Among the hot Jupiters that transit their parent stars known to date, the two best candidates to be observed with transmission spectroscopy in the mid-infrared (MIR) are HD189733b…
On the Insignificance of Photochemical Hydrocarbon Aerosols in the Atmospheres of Close-in Extrasolar Giant Planets
Mao-Chang Liang, Sara Seager, Christopher D. Parkinson +3
The close-in extrasolar giant planets (CEGPs) reside in irradiated environments much more intense than that of the giant planets in our solar system. The high UV irradiance strongl…
Source of Atomic Hydrogen in the Atmosphere of HD 209458b
Mao-Chang Liang, Christopher D. Parkinson, Anthony Y. -T. Lee +1
Atomic hydrogen loss at the top of HD 209458b's atmosphere has been recently detected Vidal-Madjar et al. 2003. We have developed a 1-dimensional model to study the chemistry in th…
