The Atmospheric Chemistry of Venus and Venus-like Exoplanets

在这个项目中，我将与合作者合作，通过应用和扩展现有的行星大气软件来模拟金星的大气化学。我将解决金星大气中的一些悬而未决的问题：-拟合化学混合比作为海拔的函数尚未解释-探索金星云中外星生命的可能性-调查金星表面-大气相互作用-将分析扩展到K和M型主恒星周围类似金星的系外行星的大气中。其中一些调查已经很好地进行了，该项目是开放式的，未来的方向取决于我们的调查结果。

In this project, I will work with collaborators to model the atmospheric chemistry of Venus by applying and extending existing software for planetary atmospheres.I will address a number of unsolved problems in the Venus atmosphere:- fitting chemical mixing ratios as a function of altitude that have not yet been explained- exploring possibilities for alien life in the clouds of Venus- investigating the surface-atmosphere interaction on Venus- extending the analysis to the atmospheres of Venus-like exoplanets around K- and M-Type host starsA number of these investigations are already well under way, and the project is open ended with the future direction being determined by our results from these investigations.
