Ionization in atmospheres of brown dwarfs and giant gas planets

Recent observations of ultra-cool objects suggest that the gas in their uppermost atmospheres is heated, ionised and magnetised to levels that radio and X-ray emission is possible. The aim of this work is to identify which low mass objects are most susceptible to plasma and magnetic processes by the...
