The Kompot Code: first-principles upper atmosphere modelling and the evolution of planetary atmospheres

Author(s)

Abstract

We present here The Kompot Code, which calculates the thermal, chemical, and hydrodynamic structures of planetary atmospheres for arbitrary conditions. We demonstrate how this model can be applied to a range of planets with different atmospheric compositions and inputs from the central star.
