Life in the Universe

Through the Centre Vie dans l’Univers, Emeline Bolmont works across disciplines on life’s origins and its possible detection on other planets.

Software developed in DynaClim

• EBM — An energy balance model for exoplanet climates.
• Posidonius — An N-body code for tidal evolution in multi-planet systems; see the project page.
• SPIROID — A star–planet tidal evolution code that can be coupled to Redback, an interior evolution model based on Dan Bower’s SPIDER/Aragog, and Riptide, a tidal-response model derived from Gabriel Tobie’s LPG-Tides. These coupled developments are in progress.
• Generic-PCM — A three-dimensional global climate model developed chiefly in Paris and Bordeaux; Siddharth Bhatnagar has contributed an updated ocean module.
