Ionization in atmospheres of brown dwarfs and extrasolar planets I The role of electron avalanche
... We have argued that the consideration of thermal- and dust-collisional processes alone suggests a globally neutral atmosphere, but that processes acting on shorter timescales can cause a violation of strict charge ...

Wide angle search for extrasolar planets by the transit method
... In Table 2.1, we present the most important quantities from those we calculated above. In choosing the CCD and lens combination we used to construct PASS0, we tried to balance a number of important considerations. The ...

Ionisation in atmospheres of Brown Dwarfs and extrasolar planets II Dust induced collisional ionization
... In the context of this paper, it may be surprising that only a fraction of brown dwarfs seem to show activity in form of X-ray or radio emission and not nearly as much is known for extrasolar planets. The ...
