[edit] 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

Planets and Pluto : 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 !

Comets : bodytype="comet"

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

A list of comets currently supported is provided here

Over 3,200 comets are supported

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


Asteroids : bodytype="minor"

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

A list of asteroids currently supported is provided 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
