Simulated thermal emission spectra from 0.6 to 15 µm of a CARMA model, EddySed models with various Scloud values and different fractions of the cloud mass mixing ratio, and a cloud-free model for a Y dwarf with Teff = 175 K, log(g) = 4.5 and fsed = 6. The inset highlights the region of interest between 3.5 - 6 µm. -- astro-ph.EP

Microphysical Prescriptions for Parameterized Water Cloud Formation on Ultra-cool Substellar Objects

by Keith CowingAugust 20, 2024

Water must condense into ice clouds in the coldest brown dwarfs and exoplanets. When they form, these icy clouds change the emergent spectra, temperature structure, and albedo of the substellar […]
