High-Resolution Spectra of Habitable Zone Planets

Madden, Jack; Kaltenegger, Lisa

This dataset contains the simulated high-resolution spectra and profiles of 360 different Earth-like exoplanets around 12 different host star types and 30 different surface types.

Contents

ExampleSpectra_Total_HighRes.txt - This is a sample spectrum to get familiar with working with the data. All spectrum files are in \(W/m^2/\mu m\) and match with the included wavelength grid.  

WavelengthGrid_Microns_HighRes.txt - Wavelength grid is spaced at \(0.01cm^{-1}\) intervals and converted to microns from 0.4 to 20. 

Spectra_Total_HighRes.zip - Contains the combined emission and reflection spectra of all 360 simulations. All spectrum files are in \(W/m^2/\mu m\)  and match with the included wavelength grid.  

Spectra_ReflectanceOnly_HighRes.zip - Contains just the reflection spectra of all 360 simulations. All spectrum files are in \(W/m^2/\mu m\) and match with the included wavelength grid.  

Spectra_EmissionOnly_HighRes.zip - Contains just the emission spectra of all 360 simulations. All spectrum files are in \(W/m^2/\mu m\) and match with the included wavelength grid.  

Profiles.zip - Contains the mixing ratios, temperature (K), and pressure (bar) profiles with altitude (cm) for each simulation.
