The relative emission from chromospheres and coronae: dependence on spectral type and age by Linsky, JL, Wood, BE, Youngblood, A, Brown, A, Froning, CS, France, K, Buccino, AP, Cranmer, SR, Mauas, P, Miguel, Y, Pinada, JS, Rugheimer, S, Vieytes, M, Wheatley, PJ, Wilson, DJ

“…The large number of stars observed with the MUSCLES, Mega-MUSCLES, and other recent Hubble Space Telescope observing programs has provided for the first time a large sample (79 stars) of reconstructed Lyα fluxes that we compare with X-ray fluxes to identify significant patterns in the relative emission from these two atmospheric regions as a function of stellar age and effective temperature. We find that as stars age on the main sequence, the emissions from their chromospheres and coronae follow a pattern in response to the amount of magnetic heating in these atmospheric layers. …”

The outer atmospheres of 'hybrid' giants by Harper, G, Graham M. Harper

Atmospheric Variability Driven by Radiative Cloud Feedback in Brown Dwarfs and Directly Imaged Extrasolar Giant Planets by Tan, X, Showman, A

“…The typical periods of variability are 1 to tens of hr, with a typical amplitude of the variability up to hundreds of K in effective temperature. The existence of variability is robust over a wide range of parameter space, but the detailed evolution of the variability is sensitive to model parameters. …”

Power-Law Template for IR Point Source Clustering by Addison, G, Dunkley, J, Hajian, A, Viero, M, Bond, JR, Das, S, Devlin, M, Halpern, M, Hincks, A, Hlozek, R, Marriage, T, Moodley, K, Page, L, Reese, E, Scott, D, Spergel, D, Staggs, S, Wollack, E

“…While the IR sources are understood to lie at a range of redshifts, with a variety of dust properties, we find that the frequency dependence of the clustering power can be described by the square of a modified blackbody, nu^beta B(nu,T_eff), with a single emissivity index beta = 2.20 +/- 0.07 and effective temperature T_eff = 9.7 K. Our predictions for the clustering amplitude are consistent with existing ACT and South Pole Telescope results at around 150 and 220 GHz, as is our prediction for the effective dust spectral index, which we find to be alpha_150-220 = 3.68 +/- 0.07 between 150 and 220 GHz. …”

The impact of imperfect heat transfer on the convective instability of a thermal boundary layer in a porous media by Hitchen, J, Wells, A
