This table contains links to movie files for each planet. The
movies are available in AVI, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4 formats and are
divided into 200 frames per orbit. The movies show the star-planet
separation and the planetary equilibrium temperature for the
well-mixed model.
Above is a low-resolution version of how the animations look.
Circumbinary Planets: The below table provides special
animations for the known circumbinary planetary systems. The main
difference is the time dependent Habitable Zone due to the orbit of
the binary. The solid lines are the Habitable Zone boundaries, the red
dotted line is the orbital stability boundary, and the planet location
is indicated by a pale blue dot. These are described in more detail
in an article by Kane & Hinkel.
