Jupiter Atmospheric Models and Outer Boundary Conditions for Giant Planet Evolutionary Calculations

This data set consists of 1D radiative-convective equilibrium boundary conditions for Jupiter-like giant planets, computed using coolTLUSTY and a recently updated set of molecular absorption cross sections. Models span internal temperatures of 80 - 450 K, and surface gravities of log10(g / [cm/s^2]) = 1.8 - 3.6. The planet is irradiated by a black body star at a distance of 5.2AU with effective temperature of 5777K with the zenith angle factor (accounting for an average incident angle) being FACFLX=0.5 or 0.67. The models assume a composition of 3.16x solar abundance, and allow the formation of ammonia clouds at low temperatures with characteristic sizes of 1 or 3 micron. More numerical details on the treatments of irradiation and clouds can be found in "Jupiter Atmospheric Models and Outer Boundary Conditions for Giant Planet Evolutionary Calculations", arXiv number TBA.
