High-temperature measurements of acetylene VUV absorption cross sections and application to warm exoplanet atmospheres
Benjamin Fleury, Mathilde Poveda, Yves Benilan +9
Most observed exoplanets have high equilibrium temperatures. Understanding the chemistry of their atmospheres and interpreting their observations requires the use of chemical kinet…
