The Effect of Clouds as an Additional Opacity Source on the Inferred Metallicity of Giant Exoplanets
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 an analytic atmosphere model, we here investigate t...
