We performed a laboratory analysis of an analogue of a hot super earth atmosphere.  This type of an extra sola r planet\, has a rocky composition and has extremely high temperature (fr om 1500°C – 5000°C). We performed infrared spectroscopy on the gas phase vapor above a mixture of two binary systems: SiO2 with Al2O3 and CaO with SiO2. It is a simplified system that is a representation of an atmospher e of an exoplanet of the specified type. The results are the identificati on of gaseous AlOSi – a radical that is possibly a constituent of an atmo sphere along with an estimate of its opaqueness\; first identification of three infrared lines of gaseous CaSiO3 – a salt that has not had an expe rimental infrared characterization. We hope these findings will aid the m odelling of hot rocky planet’s atmospheres.\n\n\nDr. David Cornelison is Michal Bulak's research advisor. The thesis is presented in partial fulfi llment of the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Materials Sc ience.
