HZ_evolution: A Package to Calculate Habitable Histories

arXiv:2409.19073 · doi:10.3847/2515-5172/ad8129

Abstract

We present HZ_evolution, a Python package to characterize the habitable histories of exoplanets. Given inputs of a planet's current effective flux and host star properties, HZ_evolution calculates its instellation history, the evolution of the star's Habitable Zone, and the duration the planet spends inside or outside the Habitable Zone.
