Habitability and Water Loss Limits on Eccentric Planets Orbiting Main Sequence Stars
Igor Palubski, Aomawa Shields, Russell Deitrick
A planet's climate can be strongly affected by its orbital eccentricity and obliquity. Here we use a 1-dimensional energy balance model modified to include a simple runaway greenho…
THOR 2.0: Major Improvements to the Open-Source General Circulation Model
Russell Deitrick, João M. Mendonça, Urs Schroffenegger +3
THOR is the first open-source general circulation model (GCM) developed from scratch to study the atmospheres and climates of exoplanets, free from Earth- or Solar System-centric t…
VPLanet: The Virtual Planet Simulator
Rory Barnes, Rodrigo Luger, Russell Deitrick +14
We describe a software package called VPLanet that simulates fundamental aspects of planetary system evolution over Gyr timescales, with a focus on investigating habitable worlds.…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Nancy Y. Kiang, Niki Parenteau +38
For the first time in human history, we will soon be able to apply the scientific method to the question "Are We Alone?" The rapid advance of exoplanet discovery, planetary systems…
Exo-Milankovitch Cycles I: Orbits and Rotation States
Russell Deitrick, Rory Barnes, Thomas R. Quinn +3
The obliquity of the Earth, which controls our seasons, varies by only ~2.5 degrees over ~40,000 years, and its eccentricity varies by only ~0.05 over 100,000 years. Nonetheless, t…
