T_eq = T_s · √(R_s/(2a)) · (1−A)^{1/4}: blackbody energy balance

Layer 1 — Physicsin the exoplanets subtree

Equilibrium temperature of a planet — the temperature at which an idealised blackbody re-emits the absorbed stellar flux in thermal equilibrium. Derivation: intercepted stellar luminosity on a planet of radius R_p at distance a is L_* · π…
