Radiative-equilibrium models for Giacobbe et al. (2021), Nature

This is the repository for the radiative-equilibrium atmospheric models used in:

    Five carbon- and nitrogen-bearing species in a hot giant planet atmosphere

by Giacobbe et al. (2021), Nature, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-021-03381-x.

The run_radeq/ folder contains the HD209458b atmospheric models computed under the assumption of radiative and thermochemical equilibrium with the pyratbay code, as described in the methods section of Giacobbe et al. (2021).

The file names indicate the adopted elemental metallicity and C/O abundance ratios, e.g., the "HD209458b_radeq_000.001x-solar_CO-0.10.atm" file corresponds to a metallicity of 0.001 times solar and a C/O ratio of 0.1.

The Python script "fig_radeq_atmospheres.py" reproduces the extended data figures showing the radiative-equilibrium atmospheric models of Giacobbe et al. (2021), which are also provided in the plots/ folder.
