Earth orbitting a K2-type star (Patreon)
Content
First of the next series of models I'm running after eccentricity, placing earth in orbit of other stars. The general approach here is working out appropriate parameters for a typical main sequence star of a certain effective temperature, setting a year length and solar flux appropriate for a roughly Earth-analagous position in that star's habitable zone (4% of the distance from the inner conservative HZ edge to the outer edge), keeping CO2 at 300 ppm, and then adjusting solar flux to get a global average temp around 15 C.
So this one is for a star with an effective temperature of 5000 K, and I'll do 4000 and 3000 K as well (and some hotter stars as well; and I'll eventually do even cooler stars when I get around to tidal-locked planets). It's a pretty subtle change so far, but you can see generally cooler summers due to the shorter year (I haven't written down all the parameters anywhere convenient just yet but it should be about half the length of our years).
