The Ice Coverage of Earth-like Planets Orbiting FGK Stars
Caitlyn Wilhelm, Rory Barnes, Russell Deitrick +1
The photometric and spectroscopic signatures of habitable planets orbiting FGK stars may be modulated by surface ice coverage. To estimate its frequency and locations, we simulated…
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…
