Elementary analitical models of atmosphere
Abstract
To understand the physics and general properties of exoplanets it is important to study the properties of their atmospheres. In this paper, we sequentially discuss the hydrostatical and hydrodynamical stationary solutions for an exoplanet atmosphere in isothermal and adiabatic approximations. These solutions, despite their abstract nature, are important for understanding the physics of the outflow process and play the role of reference points in the development of more realistic models.
