Exoplanet gas tholin sample produced from nitrogen:methane:carbon monoxide (N₂:CH₄:CO with a 95:4:1 ratio) gas precursors by RF plasma discharge at ~298 K temperature and 0.9 hPa pressure in the PAMPRE experimental setup at Laboratoire ATMosphère Observations Spatiales (LATMOS), Guyancourt, France.
Tholin sample deposited on magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) and silicon (Si) substrates. Film thicknesses of ~1673 nm on the MgF₂ substrate and ~1731 nm on the Si substrate.
The real (n) and imaginary (k) parts of the complex index of refraction were determined from optical measurements done by transmission spectroscopy at atmospheric pressure and temperature from 0.285 to 2.5 µm, and at room temperature and under vacuum from 1.5 to 200 µm.
Error bars/uncertainties are provided in the downloadable data.
