Atmospheric chemistry of Venus-like exoplanets.

SCHAEFER L. and FEGLEY B.

Abstract (from CDS):

We use thermodynamic calculations to model atmospheric chemistry on terrestrial exoplanets that are hot enough for chemical equilibria between the atmosphere and lithosphere, as on Venus. The results of our calculations place constraints on abundances of spectroscopically observable gases, the surface temperature and pressure, and the mineralogy of the planetary surface. These results will be useful in planning future observations of the atmospheres of terrestrial-sized exoplanets by current and proposed space observatories such as the Hubble Space Telescope, Spitzer, the James Webb Space Telescope, and Darwin.
