- This paper is significant as it presents a thorough study of the effects of thermal ionisation in substellar atmospheres over a wide range of global parameters, determining when plasma behaviour occurs as a function of the local atmospheric structure. This is significant as it gives a clear indication of the conditions under which plasma models have to be used as opposed to contemporary gas models. Furthermore, it indicates that non-thermal ionisation processes are required to account for the observed emission of some substellar objects. Our work was positively cited by leaders in the field: https://doi.org/10.3847/0004-637X/830/2/85.
