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.…
Exo-Milankovitch Cycles II: Climates of G-dwarf Planets in Dynamically Hot Systems
Russell Deitrick, Rory Barnes, Cecilia Bitz +6
Using an energy balance model with ice sheets, we examine the climate response of an Earth-like planet orbiting a G dwarf star and experiencing large orbital and obliquity variatio…
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…
Stratigraphy of Aeolis Dorsa, Mars: stratigraphic context of the great river deposits
Edwin S. Kite, Alan D. Howard, Antoine S. Lucas +3
Unraveling the stratigraphic record is the key to understanding ancient climate and past climate changes on Mars. River deposits when placed in stratigraphic order could constrain…
Exomoon Habitability and Tidal Evolution in Low-Mass Star Systems
Rhett R. Zollinger, John C. Armstrong, René Heller
Discoveries of extrasolar planets in the habitable zone (HZ) of their parent star lead to questions about the habitability of massive moons orbiting planets in the HZ. Around low-m…
