NLTE in the upper atmospheres of exoplanets

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project will investigate the physics of Non-Local Thermodynamic processes in the upper atmospheres of exoplanets, aiming to identify the diagnostic possibilities of such processes and their impact on the stability of the exoplanet atmospheres over long timescales. The project combines the expertise of theorists and observers, and a diversity of scientific backgrounds beyond exoplanet science: stellar astrophysics, planetary interiors and multi-dimensional numerical hydrodynamics. The project combines the expertise of various participants in the SPP program, which should strengthen the currently existing links between collaborators and create new ones.
