Planet: Name of planet Mp: Planet mass (Jupiter masses) Rp: Planet radius (Jupiter radii) P: Orbital period e: Orbital eccentricity ω: Argument of periastron tHZc: Percentage of the orbital phase spent within the Conservative Habitable Zone tHZo: Percentage of the orbital phase spent within the Optimistic Habitable Zone The planetary equilibrium temperatures are for the following assumptions. Teqa: Periastron, hot-dayside Teqb: Periastron, well-mixed Teqc: Apastron, hot-dayside Teqd: Apastron, well-mixed The "hot-dayside" model assumes there is no heat redistribution by the atmosphere and so the planetary temperature is calculated based on the thermal energy being restricted to the hemisphere facing the star. The "well-mixed" model on the other hand assumes the heat is redistributed evenly over the entire surface by high-speed zonal winds. Full technical descriptions of these parameters are contained in
