<GregroxMun> Do you want me to create a patch that adds a visual atmosphere and a cloud texture to Planet B?
<GregroxMun> in SLIPPIST-1/TRAPPIST-1?
<GregroxMun> btw, the alternate name for Seven Worlds of SLIPPIST-1 should be considered "The Terrestrial Worlds of TRAPPIST-1" :)
<egg|zzz|egg> ohai
<egg|zzz|egg> was about to reply to your tweet, that's going to be easier here :-p
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: So if we go with https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.01377.pdf table 4, b is actually the one with the denser atmosphere assuming hydrogen-dominated, 5 bar rather than 1 at the surface
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: so just switching the textures of c and b would be an improvement from that point of view :-p
<GregroxMun> oh interesting
<GregroxMun> can you give me the short version of how the authors of this paper got their results?
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: note that we know from https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.02250 that def (maybe g) are not hydrogen-dominated, so you can't use table 4 of that other paper for them
<GregroxMun> ok
<GregroxMun> do we know that b and c probably *are*?
<egg|zzz|egg> nope? :D
<GregroxMun> or wouldn't it imply that if defg aren't, b and c shouldn't be either.
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: the first paper says that b is beyond the threshold for runaway greenhouse
<GregroxMun> right
<egg|zzz|egg> to quote the relevant paragraph
<egg|zzz|egg> Planet b however, is located beyond the runaway greenhouse
<egg|zzz|egg> limit for tidally locked planets (Kopparapu et al. 2016; Turbet
<egg|zzz|egg> et al. 2017) and could potentially reach – with a thick water
<egg|zzz|egg> vapour atmosphere – a surface temperature up to 2000 K (Kopparapu
<egg|zzz|egg> et al. 2013). Assuming more realistic mean temperatures
<egg|zzz|egg> of 750-1500 K, the above estimate yields pressures of water
<egg|zzz|egg> vapour of the order of 101
<egg|zzz|egg> -104 bar, which could explain its
<egg|zzz|egg> relatively low density (assuming Ptransit = 20 millibar). As such,
<egg|zzz|egg> TRAPPIST-1 b is the only planet above the runaway greenhouse
<egg|zzz|egg> limit which seems to require volatiles.
<egg|zzz|egg> [yay pasting from PDFs into IRC]
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: thoughts on atmospheres?
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: so basically TRAPPIST-1b is a hot Venus
<GregroxMun> as opposed to a cold Venus? :P
Rokker is now known as RokkAway
<GregroxMun> ok
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: a hotter venus, which is saying something :-p
<GregroxMun> yes indeed
<GregroxMun> and that's before accounting for the tidal volcanism
<GregroxMun> I imagine
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: re. how they got their results
<egg|zzz|egg> the first paper (Grimm et al.) is assuming an atmospheric composition and running simulations
<egg|zzz|egg> the second is looking at spectra and noting that if it were hydrogen they would see something and they don't
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: speggtra!
<GregroxMun> was that 2x10^1 really neccesary
<GregroxMun> it's literally longer than "20"
<egg|zzz|egg> :D
<egg|zzz|egg> yes but it shows you they have only one significant digit
<egg|zzz|egg> 20 would give the impression that you know it's not 21
<GregroxMun> ok
<GregroxMun> fair enough
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: so, for def and maybe g, we know it's "not hydrogen-dominated"
<egg|zzz|egg> it could be water rich, nitrogen rich, carbon dioxide rich
<egg|zzz|egg> pretty sure we want e to be nitrogen rich in KSP, maybe the others too because that sounds fun
<GregroxMun> I would assume earthlike atmospheres by default simply because I've built their terrains up as earthlike worlds
<egg|zzz|egg> eggsactly
<GregroxMun> and yes, e should be as Earthlike as possible
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: also it's fun to look at the sun wobbling around and the transits from the pad :D
<GregroxMun> yes it is
<GregroxMun> I have a video of it on my channel in fact
<kmath> YouTube - Kerbal Space Program: Under a Cold Red Sun
<egg|zzz|egg> we have run into a bug where there's a phantom acceleration preventing us from timewarping when sufficiently high in space though, we must investigate; this is really annoying >_<
<GregroxMun> you might find this somewhat interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dXAo1BezV0
<kmath> YouTube - Flyby of a Retrograde planet in Kerbal Space Program
<GregroxMun> it's not principia or anything (although I'm told this type of system *should* be stable)
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: it's unclear to me what TRAPPIST-1c is
<UmbralRaptop> egg|zzz|egg: Kraken's revenge?
<GregroxMun> you mean SLIPPIST-1c in my mod or what the actual planet is?
<egg|zzz|egg> the actual planet
<egg|zzz|egg> 1c in your mod looks like 1b should be
<egg|zzz|egg> a horrifying hot Venus
<GregroxMun> yes, because we didn't have good info when I made 1c so I assumed that 1b would be an airless world, and 1c would be a volcanic venus
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: old and busted: hot Jupiters; the new hotness: hot Venuses!
<GregroxMun> the new *hotness*, nice
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: yeah, makes sense from a sample size of one solar system :D
<GregroxMun> yeah, now I think about it it was just a straight Mercury Venus comparison
<UmbralRaptop> egg|zzz|egg: lava worlds! Rock vapor atmospheres!
<GregroxMun> aaaahhhh!
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: not *that* hot tho
<GregroxMun> I kind of want to make a Synestia in KSP
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: 750-1500 K as a "realistic" mean estimate, "up to 2000 K"
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: thick water vapour for the 2000 K
<UmbralRaptop> 55 Cnc e might have lava at the substellar point, but yeah.
<GregroxMun> 55 Cancri was a system I considered for setting a hard-sci-fi story on
<GregroxMun> I wanted a realistic, real setting with many planets
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: I mean you can comfortably have iron flowing around, but not rock vapour level
<egg|zzz|egg> iron glaciers
<GregroxMun> iron is denser than molten iron
<GregroxMun> (right?)
<egg|zzz|egg> ah yeah water is silly
<UmbralRaptop> egg|zzz|egg: ꙮ_ꙮ
<GregroxMun> maybe you could have iron glaciers floating on a nickel ocean
<egg|zzz|egg> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<GregroxMun> btw
<GregroxMun> are you familar with planet rings?
<GregroxMun> (in this case, a star ring)
<UmbralRaptop> GregroxMun: yeah. I think.
<UmbralRaptop> (density, iron on a nickel ocean seems questionable)
<kmath> <GregroxMun> @SarahTStewart @jgrplanets Here is my attempt from a few weeks ago at rendering a synestia as a mod for the game Ke… https://t.co/KgTr0xghUC
<GregroxMun> here's my attempt
<GregroxMun> oh
<GregroxMun> kmath pretty much said what needed to be said
<egg|zzz|egg> Ꙩ_ꙩ
<GregroxMun> so yeah I want to make a synestia in KSP
<egg|zzz|egg> the J2 on that sounds Fun
<GregroxMun> indeed
<UmbralRaptop> It's axially symmetric though, right?
<egg|zzz|egg> unfortunately we don't do gravity when you're on the ground, which you'd need because stock won't do the job
<GregroxMun> it is yes
<GregroxMun> well the surface is far, far beneath the cloud
<egg|zzz|egg> although I guess you shouldn't be on the ground anyway why are you there anyway
<GregroxMun> I imagine your ship wouldn't survive being inside the depths of a synestia
<egg|zzz|egg> indeed
<UmbralRaptop> Using a neptunian synestia to tank up on deuterium or helium 3?
<GregroxMun> that's a fun idea
<GregroxMun> there are a few hard-sci-fi objects that are analogous to scifi nebulae
<GregroxMun> synestia and red giants are the only ones I can think of
<GregroxMun> Now what I'm not sure of is what temperature a neptunian synestia could get down to
<GregroxMun> could it be near room temperature or would it still neccesarily glow red hot?
<kmath> <S_J_Lock> @GregroxMun @SarahTStewart @jgrplanets Based on calculations of water-vapor dominated atmospheres, the radiative te… https://t.co/hQdP68LsM2
<GregroxMun> oh
<GregroxMun> I
<GregroxMun> hmm
<GregroxMun> I guess I never saw that response
<GregroxMun> nope just forgot
<GregroxMun> that's a bit embarrassing
<GregroxMun> well I guess, especially in the lower density parts, a neptunian synestia could be survivable for a spacecraft
<GregroxMun> I definitely want to see a synestia in a sci fi story at some point
<GregroxMun> I considered writing a story where the protagonists have to hide in an early solar system
<GregroxMun> and a synestia would be a cool thing to write about
<GregroxMun> my problem is I just don't have any plots
<GregroxMun> just vague ideas of things I'd like to see written about
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: what do you think the atmosphere of TRAPPIST-1c looks like considering Grimm et al. and de Wit et al.
<UmbralRaptop> egg|zzz|egg: I'd have to double check Grimm et al, but c's a low density one, right?
<GregroxMun> according to this, c is denser than b
<UmbralRaptop> I mean, I'd risk being dull and going with a warm mars, but I just don't know what eg: a world with 100s of km of ocean would do there.
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: mildly lower than venus, denser than mars
<egg|zzz|egg> aaaaaaaaaaaa because the runaway greenhouse limit for tidally locked planets lies near the orbit of planet d (Kopparapu et al. 2016; Turbet et al. 2017), the large amount of volatiles needed to explain the radius of the most irradiated
<egg|zzz|egg> planet b is likely to reside in the atmosphere (possibly as a supercritical fluid) aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
<GregroxMun> wait do you mean the planetary density or the atmospheric density? Because what I just said was planetary density
<GregroxMun> and anyway not sure if it comes from the same source as what you're talking about anyway
<GregroxMun> planet d is so un-dense that it really does look like a water world
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: mildly higher insolation than venus too
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptop: so colud be a cooler Venus rather than a warm Mars?
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: "TRAPPIST-1 b, d, f, g and h require envelopes of volatiles in the form of thick atmospheres, oceans, or ice, in most cases with water mass fractions . 5%. For comparison, the Earth’s water content is < 0.1%."
* UmbralRaptop wishes Ceres, Pluto, Eris, and the largest dozen or so moons were on there.
<GregroxMun> why do they require these?
<egg|zzz|egg> to explain the density
<GregroxMun> most of them are dense enough to be rocky planets though?
<egg|zzz|egg> and you know the density because you know the (visible) radius by transit depth, and the mass by TTV
<GregroxMun> right let's pretend there's someone on this channel that doesn't know what TTV is
<UmbralRaptop> egg|zzz|egg: could be
<egg|zzz|egg> TTV?
<Qboid> egg|zzz|egg: [TTV] => Transit Timing Variation
<GregroxMun> ah ok
<egg|zzz|egg> (simulating till you get the right transit times, and saying hey the mass are probably right)
<GregroxMun> unless the mass has very recently gone *way* down I don't see why they can't be mars-like densities
<GregroxMun> d maybe not
<GregroxMun> but the others have earthlike or marslike density
<egg|zzz|egg> d is Moon like density or lower
<egg|zzz|egg> the others, yes
<egg|zzz|egg> let me reskim the paper
<GregroxMun> TRAPPIST-1 is another system in which writing a science fiction story could be interesting.
<GregroxMun> especially now that it seems a little more interesting
<GregroxMun> I wonder how the high percentage of comets might affect the planets--comet strikes in even higher stellar gravity may be yet another danger to consider.
<GregroxMun> You know what, I think I'm going to redo planet B right now.
<GregroxMun> It needs a new heightmap, I didn't realize until recently that a lot of the heightmap comes from the Mun's that I never removed.
<egg|zzz|egg> GregroxMun: so basically the answer is there's more to the radius-mass relation than the ratio
