The Effect of Metallicity on the Nonequilibrium Abundance of Hydrogen-dominated Exoplanet Atmospheres

The atmospheric metallicity greatly influences the composition of exoplanet atmospheres. The effect of metallicity on the thermochemical equilibrium is well studied, though its effect on the disequilibrium abundance is loosely constrained. In this study, we have used the quenching approximation to s...
