HZ_evolution: A Package to Calculate Habitable Histories

Year: 2024

Type: article

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 (HZ), and the duration the planet spends inside or outside the HZ.
