Self-consistent Models of Y Dwarf Atmospheres with Water Clouds and Disequilibrium Chemistry

<p>This data set consists of 1d radiative-convective equilibrium models&nbsp;intended for&nbsp;Y Dwarfs or cool giant planets with negligible levels of external irradiation, computed using coolTLUSTY and a recently updated set of molecular absorption cross sections. Models span effective temperatures of 200 - 600 K, metallicities of [-0.5], [0], and [+0.5] dex, and surface gravities of log10(g / [cm/s^2]) = 3.5 - 5.0, and are computed for both cloudy and&nbsp;clear cases,&nbsp;in thermochemical equilibrium&nbsp;and with nonequilibrium carbon and nitrogen chemistry due to vertical mixing.&nbsp;Models extend from 0.5 microns to 300 microns with 30,000 frequency points evenly spaced in ln(frequency), which corresponds to an average resolving power of R ~ 4340.</p> <p>See README.txt for a description of file formats, naming conventions,&nbsp;and decompressed sizes.</p> <p>A more thorough summary of the assumptions made in computing these models and a walk-through of their properties can be&nbsp;found in Lacy &amp; Burrows 2023 &quot;Self-consistent Models of Y Dwarf Atmospheres with Water Clouds and Disequilibrium Chemistry&quot;&nbsp;accepted for publication in the Astrophysical Journal and available on arXiv.</p> <p>If you make use of these models please cite that publication, along with this zenodo data set.</p>
