The effects of snowlines on C/O in planetary atmospheres
KI Öberg, R Murray-Clay… - The Astrophysical Journal …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
The C/O ratio is predicted to regulate the atmospheric chemistry in hot Jupiters. Recent
observations suggest that some exoplanets, eg, Wasp 12-b, have atmospheric C/O ratios …
