Description
Aerosol transmission spectra for a variety of proposed cloud and haze species computed assuming monodisperse 0.1 micron particles distributed with a constant mass mixing ratio profile in the atmosphere. The first column is wavelength in microns, the second is planet radius in km, and third column is atmospheric molecular weight. Optical constants for tholins are taken from Khare et al. (1984); those for soots are from Lavvas and Koskinen (2017); those for KCl, ZnS, Na2S, MnS, and Cr are from Morley et al. (2012); those for NaCl are from Eldridge and Palik (1985) and Querry (1987); those for Mg2SiO4, Fe, and Al2O3 are from Wakeford and Sing (2015); and those for TiO2 are from Posch et al. (2003) and Zeidler et al. (2011).
