HZ_evolution: A Package to Calculate Habitable Histories
Noah W. Tuchow, Jason T. Wright
TL;DR
HZ_evolution is a Python package that models the habitable history of exoplanets by calculating their stellar flux exposure and Habitable Zone evolution over time.
Contribution
The paper introduces HZ_evolution, a new computational tool for analyzing exoplanet habitability histories based on stellar and planetary parameters.
Findings
Calculates a planet's instellation history.
Models the evolution of the star's Habitable Zone.
Determines the duration a planet spends within the Habitable Zone.
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.
