Modelling the Upper Atmosphere of Gas-Giant Exoplanets Irradiated by Low-Mass Stars

This PhD thesis details the development of a new 1D ionospheric model to describe the upper atmospheres of extrasolar giant plants. The composition and structure of these planets' upper atmospheres are affected by high-energy emissions from the host star.

Aceasta teza de doctorat detaliaza dezvoltarea unui nou model ionosferic 1D pentru a descrie atmosferele superioare ale plantelor gigantice extrasolare. Compozitia si structura atmosferelor superioare ale acestor planete sunt afectate de emisiile ridicate de energie de la steaua gazda.
