Atmospheres regulate the planetary heat loss and therefore influence planetary thermal evolution. Uncertainty in a giant planet's thermal state contributes to the uncertainty in the inferred abundance of heavy elements it contains. Within…
We introduce new adjustments and advances in space-borne 3D volumetric scattering-tomography of cloud micro-physics. The micro-physical properties retrieved are the liquid water content and effective radius within a cloud. New adjustments…

Chemical composition of a molecular cloud is highly sensitive to the physical properties of the cloud. In order to obtain the chemical composition around a star forming region, we carry out a two dimensional hydrodynamical simulation of the…
We show that the two groups of ultracool dwarfs classified as L and T types can be understood as a temperature effect in a unique sequence of the model photospheres in which dust always exists but only in the restricted region deep in the…

Observationally, spectra of brown dwarfs indicate the presence of dust in their atmospheres while theoretically it is not clear what prevents the dust from settling and disappearing from the regions of spectrum formation. Consequently,…
The observed atmospheric spectrum of exoplanets and brown dwarfs depends critically on the presence and distribution of atmospheric condensates. The Ackerman & Marley (2001) methodology for predicting the vertical distribution of condensate…
