Scientists at ASU's School of Earth and Space Exploration have demonstrated how clouds in a sub-Neptune's atmosphere shape the interior structure of the planet.
A recent study conducted by astronomers at Arizona State University (ASU) reveals the influence of clouds on the internal composition of sub-Neptunes, a class of exoplanets that stands out for its abundance in the universe. Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, the research seeks to understand how atmospheric conditions affect the internal structure of these planets. Sub-Neptunes and their importance in the study of exoplanets Sub-Nept…
