Discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for radiative transfer in spherical symmetry
D. Kitzmann, J. Bolte, A. B. C. Patzer
The discontinuous Galerkin finite element method (DG-FEM) is successfully applied to treat a broad variety of transport problems numerically. In this work, we use the full capacity…
VULCAN: an Open-Source, Validated Chemical Kinetics Python Code for Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Shang-Min Tsai, James R. Lyons, Luc Grosheintz +3
We present an open-source and validated chemical kinetics code for studying hot exoplanetary atmospheres, which we name VULCAN. It is constructed for gaseous chemistry from 500 to…
HELIOS: An Open-source, GPU-accelerated Radiative Transfer Code For Self-consistent Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Matej Malik, Luc Grosheintz, João M. Mendonça +10
We present the open-source radiative transfer code named HELIOS, which is constructed for studying exoplanetary atmospheres. In its initial version, the model atmospheres of HELIOS…
Assessing the habitability of planets with Earth-like atmospheres with 1D and 3D climate modeling
M. Godolt, J. L. Grenfell, D. Kitzmann +5
The habitable zone (HZ) describes the range of orbital distances around a star where the existence of liquid water on the surface of an Earth-like planet is in principle possible.…
Revisiting the scattering greenhouse effect of CO2 ice clouds
Daniel Kitzmann
Carbon dioxide ice clouds are thought to play an important role for cold terrestrial planets with thick CO2 dominated atmospheres. Various previous studies showed that a scattering…
