Is Gliese 581d habitable? Some constraints from radiative-convective climate modeling
R. Wordsworth, F. Forget, F. Selsis +3
The recently discovered exoplanet Gl581d is extremely close to the outer edge of its system's habitable zone, which has led to much speculation on its possible climate. We have per…
A boundary-based net-exchange Monte Carlo method for absorbing and scattering thick media
V. Eymet, R. Fournier, S. Blanco +1
A boundary-based net-exchange Monte Carlo method was introduced in [1] that allows to bypass the difficulties encountered by standard Monte Carlo algorithms in the limit of optical…
The EChO science case
Giovanna Tinetti, Pierre Drossart, Paul Eccleston +347
The discovery of almost 2000 exoplanets has revealed an unexpectedly diverse planet population. Observations to date have shown that our Solar System is certainly not representativ…
Longwave radiative analysis of cloudy scattering atmospheres using a Net Exchange Formulation
V. Eymet, J. L. Dufresne, P. Ricchiazzi +1
The Net Exchange Formulation (NEF) is an alternative to the usual radiative transfer equation. It was proposed in 1967 by Green [1] for atmospheric sciences and by Hottel [2] for e…
