===Running KRC for Non-Tidally Locked Airless Bodies===

KRC can predict surface and subsurface temperatures for asteroids, comets, or any non-tidally locked body.

The ability to work with tidally locked body will be developed in the future, but is not yet available.


* Define the body type

<u>''Planets and Pluto''</u> : No need to define bodytype

Mercury(!!!), Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter(!!!), Saturn(!!!), Uranus(!!!), Neptune(!!!), and Pluto can be modeled.
(!!!): tidally locked or no rocky surface

Make sure to adjust the atmospheric parameters !

 dv>krc(lat=12.,body="Pluto")
 dv>


<u>''Comets''</u> : bodytype="comet"

 dv>krc(lat=12.,bodytype="comet",body="1P-Halley",PTOTAL=0.)
 dv>

A list of comets currently supported is provided [[:http://krc.mars.asu.edu/images/8/85/Comet_Names.txt | here]]

Over 3,200  comets are supported

Make sure to turn off the atmosphere by setting PTOTAL=0.


<u>''Asteroids''</u> : bodytype="minor"

 dv> out=krc(lat=0.,body="Bennu",bodytype="minor",PTOTAL=0.)
 dv> 

A list of asteroids currently supported is provided [[:http://krc.mars.asu.edu/images/5/50/Asteroid_Names.txt | here]]

Over 390,000 asteroids are supported

Make sure to turn off the atmosphere by setting PTOTAL=0.
 

* Define subsurface density/conductivity/specific heat profiles
