Theoretical Transmission Spectra of Exoplanet Atmospheres with Hydrocarbon Haze: Effect of Creation, Growth, and Settling of Haze Particles. II. Dependence on UV Irradiation Intensity, Metallicity, C/O Ratio, Eddy Diffusion Coefficient, and Temperature
2019 The Astrophysical Journal 877 109.
Caption: Figure 4.
Vertical profiles of the volume average radius svol (red solid line) and number density nvol (orange solid line), and the surface average radius ssurf (red dashed line) and number density nsurf (orange dashed line), along with that of the monomer mass production rate (green solid line), for the fiducial case. See the text for the definition of each quantity. The mass densities for all size bins at each pressure level are also plotted with the blue color contour. Note that the mass density here refers not to the material density of haze particles but to their spatial density.
