Nitrogen as a Tracer of Giant Planet Formation. II. Comprehensive Study of Nitrogen Photochemistry and Implications for Observing NH3 and HCN in Transmission and Emission Spectra
Atmospheric nitrogen may provide important constraints on giant planet formation. Following our semianalytical work, we further pursue the relation between observable NH _3 and an atmosphere’s bulk nitrogen abundance by applying the photochemical kinetics model VULCAN across planetary equilibrium te...
