Synthetic Spectra of Potential Exo-Earths: Quantifying Biotic Signatures with AROC
S Dick, M Li, D Adams, T Kataria… - AGU Fall Meeting …, 2019 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
As exoplanet transmission spectra become possible for smaller planets, it becomes
pertinent to question what we expect to observe from an exo-Earth. Previously, atmospheric
and aqueous chemistry models have been used independently to investigate atmospheric
and surface processes taking place on terrestrial exoplanets. However, these two models
cannot be treated discretely. We present the AROC (Atmosphere-Rock-Ocean Chemistry)
model, which couples KINETICS (the Caltech/JPL 1-D photochemical and transport model …
