Options Lookup

The contents of this page can be generated by typing vplanet -H in a terminal.

VPLanet is a general purpose planetary evolution integrator. From the command line, enter one optional command line option and one file name, e.g.:

> vplanet vpl.in

where vpl.in is the “primary” input file consisting of options and a list of files that contain the initial conditions for all bodies in a system. The code then simulates planetary systen evolution forward or backward in time. This onboard help provides information regarding the input and output files, command line options, and each option and output parameter. For more more information, see https://virtualplanetarylaboratory.github.io/vplanet, or consult the examples directory.

Support for VPLanet has been provided through grants by NASA, the NSF.

Command Line Options

Description

-v, -verbose

– Maximum verbosity, i.e. display all warnings and updates.

-q, -quiet

– No verbosity, i.e. nothing printed to device.

-h, -help

– Display short help.

-H, -Help

– Display extended help.

Input File Structure

  • Options must be the first string on the line and must be written exactly as shown below; the options are case-sensitive.

  • All characters to the right of a # sign are treated as a comment and are ignored. Blank lines are also ignored.

  • Options that take an array of arguments may span multiple lines if a $ is placed at the end of the line.

  • Output parameters (the arguments to saOutputOrder) are not case sensitive, and need only enough characters to be unambiguous.

Output File Structure

Output files consist columns of data separated by white space in the same order as listed in saOutputOrder.

Any

Default value

bAtmEscAuto

Description

Let AtmEsc determine the proper atmospheric escape regime for
an eroding H envelope. If the planetary radius exceeds the
Roche lobe, the unbound material is assumed to be Bondi-limited
and mass loss proceeds following Equation 4 from Owen & Wu
(2016). For planetary radius less than the Roche limit, if the
incident XUV flux exceeds the critical flux (Equation A25 from
Luger et. al. 2015), the mass loss is
radiation/recombination-limited and scales as XUV^0.5.
Otherwise, the loss is energy-limited and is linearly
proportional to the incident XUV flux.

Type

Bool

Modules

ALL

Files

Any

Default value

0

bDiscreteRot

Description

In the CPL model of EqTide, this option toggles between two
ways in which the rotation rate behaves once it has damped to
equilibrium. The rigorous model only has two states: 1:1 and
3:2 frequency ratios, but this is due to truncation in the
solution; the equilibrium value is a continuous function of
eccentricity. If this option is set to 1, then only the 1:1 and
3:2 states are availeble, with a boundary at e = sqrt(1/19); if
set to 0, the rotation rate is (1+9.5e^2) times the mean
motion.

bFixOrbit

Description

In EqTide, setting this value to 1 holds the eccentricity and
semi-major axis fixed during the evolution. This option can be
helpful for testing or for faking planet-planet perturbations
that maintain an eccentricity. (Although a bFixEcc option would
probably be better!)

bForceEcc

Type

Bool

Modules

ALL

Files

Any

Default value

0

bForceEqSpin

Description

Set this option to 1 to force the rotation rate to the
equilibrium tidal value in EqTide. If set to 0, the rotation
rate may “bounce” back and forth across the equilibrium value
due to numerical issues. Setting to 0 may result in a
simulation that requires orders of magnitude more computational
time. The threshold to force the equilibrium value is set by
dMaxLockDiff, but the rotation rate will only be fixed if the
derivative on the other side of the equilibrium value send the
spin rate toward equilibrium. This latter functionality enables
pre-MS stars to not tidally lock if the torque due to
contraction exceeds the tidal torque.

mutual (or relative) inclination is the value of the angle
between the orbital angular momentum vector of two bodies. If
set to 0, then the mutual inclination will not be checked every
timestep for halts, i.e. the code should run faster. For
DistOrb calculations with the RD4 null model, mutual
inclinations above 35.00 degrees, especially if the
eccentricities are significant, should be interpreted
cautiously. For the DistOrb-null model, values above 10.00
degrees are suspect. SpiNBody is accurate for any value.
