MSU Graduate Theses
With the James Webb Space Telescope and other space-based missions launching in the next few years, the astrophysics community awaits an exciting time. This work is an answer to a call for the laboratory contributions necessary to analyze the data of unprecedented accuracy. I performed a laboratory analysis of an analogue of a hot super earth atmosphere. This type of an extra solar planet has a rocky composition and has extremely high temperature (from 1500˚C – 5000˚C). I performed infrared spectroscopy on the gas phase vapor above a mixture of two binary systems: SiO2 with Al2O3 and CaO with SiO2. …
