Precipitating Condensation Clouds in Substellar Atmospheres
TL;DR: In this article, a method to calculate vertical profiles of particle size distributions in condensation clouds of giant planets and brown dwarfs is presented, which assumes a balance between turbulent diffusion and precipitation in horizontally uniform cloud decks.

Albedo and reflection spectra of extrasolar giant planets
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived albedo and reflection spectra for a full range of extrasolar giant planet (EGP) models, from Jovian to 51 Pegasi class objects.

TL;DR: This article measured the thermal structure of the atmosphere of Jupiter from 1029 km above to 133 km below the 1-bar level during entry and descent of the Galileo probe and confirmed the hot exosphere observed by Voyager (∼900 K at 1 nanobar).

TL;DR: The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) is a remote-sensing Fourier transform spectrometer on the Cassini orbiter that measures thermal radiation over two decades in wavenumber, with a spectral resolution that can be set from 0.5 to 15.5 cm− 1.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of condensates on the characterization of transiting planet atmospheres with transmission spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the slant optical depth through the atmosphere of a hot Jupiter planet is ∼35-90 times greater than the normal optical depth, which can obscure absorption features of gaseous atmospheric species.

Absorption and Scattering of Light by Small Particles
TL;DR: In this paper, a Potpourri of Particles is used to describe surface modes in small Particles and the Angular Dependence of Scattering is shown to be a function of the size of the particles.

Turbulence and stress owing to gravity wave and tidal breakdown
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of mean winds and gravity waves on the mean momentum budget were investigated and it was shown that the existence of critical levels in the mesosphere significantly limits the ability of gravity waves to generate turbulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photochemistry of the atmosphere of Titan: comparison between model and observations.
TL;DR: The photochemistry of simple molecules containing carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in the atmosphere of Titan has been investigated using updated chemical schemes and the authors' own estimates of a number of key rate coefficients, which satisfactorily accounts for the concentrations of minor species observed by the Voyager IRIS and UVS instruments.

Formation of the Giant Planets
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of a gaseous envelope surrounding a protoplanet has been investigated in connection with the formation of the giant planets, and the most remarkable result is that a common relation between the core mass and the total mass holds irrespectively of the regions in the solar nebula.
