KRC for Bennu

Notes

Basalt is the default material for Bennu (Mat1= "basalt"), and T_user = 220 (temperature at which the inertia is defined).

Bennu Runs

Orbital parameters have already been processed for Bennu, and standard material properties of airless bodies are considered by default.

To run a Bennu case, set body = "Bennu".

out = krc(lat=0.,INERTIA=50.,T_user=220.,LKofT="T",body="Bennu",ls=0.)

By default, the temperature dependence of the thermal conductivity uses a Moon-like trend (k_style = "Moon").


Defining a Date

Seasons can be defined as Ls (ls), Julian Date (JD), and Gregorian Date (GD):

 OUT = krc(body="Bennu",lat=25.,ls=90.)

For a specific Gregorian Date, GD (currently ranging from 1990-Jan-01 to 2040-Jan-01), the format is ????-Mmm-DD, with Mmm:Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec;

 OUT = krc(body="Bennu",lat=12.,GD="2010-Jan-05")

or a specific Julian Date JD:

 OUT = krc(body="Bennu",lat=12.,JD=2455201)

Note: the possibility to specify the date with GD is only currently available for Mars, the Moon, Bennu, and Europa.
