Planetary Atmospheres
Connecting planet formation and astrochemistry. Refractory carbon depletion leading to super-stellar C/O in giant planetary atmospheres
... We have intentionally kept the source of the carbon excess simple, studying only two possible extremes. We have assumed that similar carbon depletion processes could occur in other so- lar systems, and have not explored ...
