Using a Quench Level Approximation to Estimate the Effect of Metallicity on the Abundances of N-bearing Species in H2-dominated Atmospheres

Variations in atmospheric elemental nitrogen can considerably affect the abundance of major nitrogen-bearing species such as NH _3 and HCN. Also, due to vertical mixing and photochemistry, their abundance deviates from thermochemical equilibrium. The goal of this study is to understand the effect of...
