    Exoplanets Simulations
Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding simulations to explore radial velocity changes in exoplanets. Users seek tools that allow manipulation of stellar luminosity to observe its impact on radial velocity accuracy. Key resources shared include the Sonnensystem Simulator, the Janus Orbits Builder, and a comprehensive list from the University of Puerto Rico. It is clarified that luminosity does not affect orbital mechanics, emphasizing the need for precise simulation tools to study exoplanetary dynamics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of radial velocity in exoplanet studies
  • Familiarity with stellar luminosity concepts
  • Basic knowledge of orbital mechanics
  • Experience with online simulation tools
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Sonnensystem Simulator for basic orbital dynamics
  • Investigate the Janus Orbits Builder for customizable simulations
  • Review the University of Puerto Rico's list of astronomical software
  • Learn about the Goldilocks zone and its implications for exoplanet habitability
USEFUL FOR

Astronomy enthusiasts, educators, and researchers interested in exoplanet dynamics and simulation tools for studying radial velocity and stellar influences.

Is there any good simulation to test out radial velocity and/or maybe mess around with exoplanets? If there is please let me know!

I want to try out this simulation where I change the luminosity of a star and see how the accuracy of the radial velocity changes, but a basic simulation would also work.

I'm confused.

What you want seems to be a model that does what? Show changes in exoplanetary radial velocities as a function of stellar mass? I'm guessing here. That won't help you at all.

So please clarify what you need. Thanks.
 
It is not about exoplanets simulator and I am sure you have already check NASA resources but I will add this link as I love to travel through our Solar system with help of it :) Solar System Exploration
