Characterizing the atmospheres of extrasolar planets is the new frontier in exoplanetary
science. The last two decades of exoplanet discoveries have revealed that exoplanets are …

Abstract The Composite Infrared Spectrometer (CIRS) is a remote-sensing Fourier
Transform Spectrometer (FTS) on the Cassini orbiter that measures thermal radiation over …

We present an update of the open-source photochemical kinetics code VULCAN to include
C–H–N–O–S networks and photochemistry. The additional new features are advection …

We have developed a one-dimensional photochemical and thermochemical kinetics and
diffusion model to study the effects of disequilibrium chemistry on the atmospheric …

Chemical equations that balance bond types and atom hybridization to different degrees are
often used in computational thermochemistry, for example, to increase accuracy when lower …

Motivated by recent spectroscopic evidence for carbon-rich atmospheres on some transiting
exoplanets, we investigate the influence of the C/O ratio on the chemistry, composition, and …

High-energy photons, electrons, and ions initiate ion–neutral chemistry in Titan's upper
atmosphere by ionizing the major neutral species (nitrogen and methane). The Ion and …

We report on the physical and chemical aeronomy of the hot Jupiter HD 209458b, a
prominent case in the growing sample of known extrasolar planets. Our work is motivated by …

We present an open-source and validated chemical kinetics code for studying hot
exoplanetary atmospheres, which we name VULCAN. It is constructed for gaseous …

The new one-dimensional radiative–convective/photochemical/microphysical model
described in Part I is applied to the study of Titan's atmospheric processes that lead to haze …
