...Certainly, photochemistry can produce species not included in this investigation (e.g., CmHn, HCN), especially in cooler planets in which CH4 is readily available for photolysis (Line et al. 2011; Venot et al. 2014; Moses et al. 2013; Hu & Seager 2014; Miller-Ricci Kempton et al. 2012)....

...…is expected to cause effective Kzz values to increase roughly with the inverse square root of atmospheric pressure in planetary stratospheres (e.g., Lindzen 1981, and references therein) — a scaling that appears consistent with inferred vertical mixing in exoplanet general circulation models…...

...…Equilibrium for Generic Hot Neptunes With the core-accretion model of giant-planet formation (Mizuno et al. 1978; Bodenheimer & Pollack 1986; Pollack et al. 1996), a rocky or rock-ice protoplanetary core initially forms and grows from the accretion of solid planetesimals within a…...
