The Sun and stars as the primary energy input in planetary atmospheres
@article{Ribas2009TheSA, title={The Sun and stars as the primary energy input in planetary atmospheres}, author={I. Ribas}, journal={arXiv: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics}, year={2009}, volume={5}, pages={3-18} }
Proper characterization of the host star to a planet is a key element to the under- standing of its overall properties. The star has a direct impact through the modification of the structure and evolution of the planet atmosphere by being the overwhelmingly larger source of energy. The star plays a central role in shaping the structure, evolution, and even determining the mere existence of planetary atmospheres. The vast majority of the stellar flux is well under- stood thanks to the impressive… Expand
