Stellar Cartography: A further look at Proxima Centauri

Making use of University of Aricebo Exoplanet Calculator, I can generate some useful information about the system.

So here is a bunch of Planets for the Proxima Centauri System with Thai words for planet names.

  Planet            Period(days)      Dist(AU)     Temp (Kelvin, Celsius)          Albedo Adj.   
  Tao                      2                      0.015412                417K, 138.85C          Conif.  Ocean 
  Rawn                  3                      0.020195                364K, 90.85C             0.08      0.06
  Faam                   4                     0.024465                331K, 57.85C              80.85C            
  Yung                    7                     0.035528                274K, -0.85C              20C      21.85C
  Klaang                8.2                   0.039481                260K, -13.15C           5.85C   6.85C  
  Proxima B         11.186             0.048561                235K, -38.15C
        Phet Rok      1                                                                                        
  Suun                  12.4                  0.052014                227K, -46.15C
  Khaan                21.75                0.075651               118K, -155.15C        
  Hin                      >6                     Intruder               Occasionaly Nice?

With Planet Masses we could decide whether they are potential Colonies. an earth like hothouse will apparently add thirty three degrees to our earth, so Yung and Klaang will be better choices for colonization if they are Earth-like.

Updated: Albedo and its effects on habitability
Albedo effect on planet temperature makes two planets (Yung and Klaang) habitable, though only Yung falls in the comfortable temperature range.

Addendum: A few leftovers...

You know how it is, you put together a contraption and have a few pieces left over.






















A potential Solar System in need of better resources
