AbstractObservations of radio emission from exoplanets and brown dwarfs suggest that such objects harbour atmospheric magnetized plasmas. However, the degree of thermal ionization for such substellar objects is insufficient to qualify the ionized component as a plasma, posing the question: what ionization processes can efficiently produce the required plasma? We propose Alfvén ionization as a mechanism for producing localized pockets of ionized gas in the atmosphere, having sufficient degrees of ionization (≥10−7) that they constitute plasmas. We outline the criteria required for Alfvén ionization to occur and justify its applicability in substellar atmospheres. For the model atmospheres considered here, our results show that degrees of ionization ranging from 10−6−1 can be obtained.

In this paper, we study single and double ionizations of N2O in a short elliptically polarized 800 nm laser pulse using the COLTRIMS technique. The molecular-frame photoelectron angular distribution and the ion sum-momentum distribution of single and double ionizations of N2O molecules are reported for the single ionization dissociative channel NO[Formula: see text] + N and the double ionization dissociative channel NO[Formula: see text] + N[Formula: see text]. The ionizations of multiple orbitals for the two studied dissociative channels were identified via studying the orientation dependent ionization rates for their KERs. The results show that the shape of the ionizing orbitals governs the single and double ionization processes of N2O.
