Exotic Sandy Clouds in the Atmospheres of Extrasolar Worlds

Exoplanets and brown dwarfs are sufficiently cool to form clouds made of sand. It is crucial to understand these clouds to learn about the nature of extrasolar worlds. Dr. Suarez will present recent results about the physics and chemistry of sandy clouds and their effects on extrasolar atmospheres. The data provide a clearer picture of the diversity of exoplanets and brown dwarfs. He will also show exclusive observations from the James Webb Space Telescope that are helping us to decipher the phenomena occurring in the atmospheres of exoplanets.

Free and open to the public.

In-person attendance is always more fun. We’ll have a couple of door prizes again in February.
