Part 2:
To receive full credit (10 points) do the following:
Go to https://astro.unl.edu/nativeapps/ (Links to an external site.)
and download the “NAAP Labs” program for whatever operating system you have
Open the program and click on “15. Habitable Zones” at the bottom of the application
Click on “Circumstellar Habitable Zone Simulator” and pull up the simulation.
Set the “initial planet distance” control to 5.2 AU
Move the “initial star mass” slider until you find the necessary star mass for Jupiter to be in the habitable zone
Earning the Extra Credit Points
Take a picture of the simulation in this configuration doing these steps will get you 4 points of extra credit. If you do the following you can receive up to 6 additional points of extra credit.
Manipulate the “Timeline and Simulation Controls” by either hitting the “play”/”pause” button or moving the slider to find how long a planet at Jupiter’s orbital distance would remain in the habitable zone of this star. You can submit this answer as a sentence in a pdf or word document like “Extra-extra credit question 1: A planet at Jupiter’s orbital distance would remain in the habitable zone for […] giga-years”. Note: a giga-year is one billion years.
Change the “initial star mass” to 0.3 Msun and find the range of the habitable zone for this star.
Example: “Extra-extra credit question 2: The habitable zone for a 0.3 solar mass star is from […] AU to […] AU”
Determine the orbital period (in days) of a planet at the inner and outer edges of the habitable zone with the equation: P2=a3Mstar
Here P is the period in years, R is the orbital radius in AU, and Mstar is the mass of the star in Solar Masses.
The equation will give you the orbital period in years. Convert this to days to see how short the orbital period is.
