Hypervolatile Retention Within Small Kuiper Belt Objects - data and code

Description

This repository contains the numerical model developed for the study "Hypervolatile Retention Within Small Kuiper Belt Objects," in addition to the data produced by this model and code used to create paper figures. 

 

Numerical Model:

KBO_evol_single-cleaned.ipynb is a Jupyter notebook that runs a single instance of the numerical model. 

KBO_evol_parallel.zip contains the python modules required to run multiple instances of the model in parallel.

 

Data from Model Runs:

KBO_evol_results-30K.zip contains all data used to produce results in the main body of text where the object's surface temperature is 30 K.

data_rad0.5_rp0.001_k0.001_rbody5000.0t_acc5.0.npz contains data for the single run shown in the main body of the text where the object's surface temperature is 33K.

 

Figure Production:

KBO_figures1_cleaned.ipynb and KBO_figures1_cleaned.ipynb are Jupyter notebooks used to create figures from the data described above.
