Abstract In order to simulate the interaction of sunlight with planetary atmospheres, including Pluto, Titan and the early Earth, many laboratory studies have used high-power broadband lamps with spectral features that extend into the vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV, 60 h) photochemical experiments. While this is only one model system, it is apparent that changes in photon flux during simulations must be taken into account if adequate comparisons of the photochemical kinetics to their respective planetary environments are to be made.
