Hycean World Runaway Greenhouse: Atmospheric Profiles and Spectral Tables

Data from simulations for the paper 'The Runaway Greenhouse Effect on Hycean Worlds' accepted for publication in ApJ. The repository contains atmospheric profiles and correlated-k spectral tables used with the SOCRATES radiative transfer code. Author Hamish Innes from the University of Oxford produced this data.

Use Cases

• Modeling atmospheric runaway greenhouse thresholds based on provided simulation profiles.
• Running radiative transfer calculations using the supplied correlated-k spectral tables.
• Analyzing the impact of water self-broadening in mixed H2-He-H2O atmospheres using the '_sb' suffix files.
• Comparing climate outcomes for different stellar types (gstar, mstar) and atmospheric pressures (1bar, 10bar).

Strengths

• Data is directly associated with a peer-reviewed paper accepted for publication in The Astrophysical Journal.
• Includes specific spectral files for water self-broadening required for mixed atmospheres.
• Repository structure is clearly documented with separate directories for simulation profiles and spectral files.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and total data size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
