Collaborative Research: Characterizing Cloudy Exoplanet Atmospheres

这个合作项目是对太阳系外行星的云层大气进行建模的理论成果。这些模型将受到双子座行星成像仪(GPI)和其他调查产生的系外行星的直接图像的限制。研究人员将专注于非平衡化学、云物理、大气结构和预测行星的发射光谱。他们还将使用直接成像数据来确定大气有效温度、表面重力和成分。广泛的影响包括对大学公共网页上科学主题的贡献，由美国自然历史博物馆制作的名为科学公告特写的视频，以及指导和指导一名女研究生进行博士论文研究。

This collaborative project is a theoretical effort to model cloudy atmospheres of extrasolar planets. The models will be constrained by direct images of exoplanets produced by the Gemini Planet Imager (GPI) and other surveys. The researchers will focus on non-equilibrium chemistry, cloud physics, atmospheric structure and predict emission spectra of the planets. They will also use the direct imaging data to determine atmospheric effective temperature, surface gravity and composition.Broader impacts include contributions to university public web pages on science topics, videos called Science Bulletin Features produced by the American Museum of Natural History, and mentoring and supervising a female graduate student in her Ph.D. dissertation research.
