Depletion of gaseous CO in protoplanetary disks by surface-energy-regulated ice formation
Diana Powell, Peter Gao, Ruth Murray-Clay +1
Empirical constraints of fundamental properties of protoplanetary disks are essential for understanding planet formation and planetary properties (1,2). Carbon monoxide (CO) gas is…
A Simple Condensation Model for the H2SO4-H2O Gas-cloud System on Venus
Longkang Dai, Xi Zhang, Wencheng D. Shao +2
The current Venus climate is largely regulated by globally-covered concentrated sulfuric acid clouds from binary condensation of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and water (H2O). To understan…
Local-time Dependence of Chemical Species in the Venusian Mesosphere
Wencheng D. Shao, Xi Zhang, João Mendonça +1
Observed chemical species in the Venusian mesosphere show local-time variabilities. SO2 at the cloud top exhibits two local maxima over local time, H2O at the cloud top is uniforml…
A Cross-Laboratory Comparison Study of Titan Haze Analogs: Surface Energy
Jialin Li, Xinting Yu, Ella Sciamma-O'Brien +5
In Titan's nitrogen-methane atmosphere, photochemistry leads to the production of complex organic particles, forming Titan's thick haze layers. Laboratory-produced aerosol analogs,…
Atmospheric Circulation of Brown Dwarfs: Jets, Vortices, and Time Variability
Xi Zhang, Adam P. Showman
A variety of observational evidence demonstrates that brown dwarfs exhibit active atmospheric circulations. In this study we use a shallow-water model to investigate the global atm…
