Roughly half of the atmospheric particles originate gas-to-new-particle conversion which was first observed in the1990s. However, the molecular mechanisms of formation of the initial molecular clusters and their growth to atmospheric aerosol particles in the diverse atmospheric conditions are not yet understood. Our cluster population dynamics model (ACDC, first published in 2012) combined...
Extrasolar planets are very diverse, ranging from rocky planets to
ultra-hot gaseous giants. Ideally, one would like to use global
parameters like orbital distance, planetary mass and the host star's
effective temperature to characterize the planet as well as its
atmospheric regimes remotely. Ultra-hot gas giants, however, defy this
aim since their atmosphere exhibit a wide range of...
