Scientific paper

Meteoroid ablation in the Neptune atmosphere can influence the chemistry of the upper atmosphere through the supply of oxygen, in the case of water-ice meteoroid ablation, which will eventually be converted to CO in the upper atmosphere, and through the ablation and recondensation of relatively refractory meteoroid material, which leads to the production of dust particles that can act as sites for lower-atmosphere condensation of hydrocarbons. An analysis is presently made of ablation rate calculation uncertainties. The ablation equations presented are applicable to other planets.
