Tidal Effects on the Planets of Teegarden’s Star
=====================================

Overview
--------
A Monte Carlo simulation of the tidal effects present in the Teegarden system, a solar system comprised of two Earth-mass 
planets with dense atmospheres in the habitable zone of a M type red dwarf star, with focus on Cassini States, obliquity evolution and tidal heating.

**Approx. runtime**   1 week
===================   ============

This set-up allows the user to generate simulation data and plot results for a simulation of the Teegarden system with random variations in the parameters:
 - Cosine of Obliquity
 - Eccentricity
 - Inclination
 - Mass
 - Longitude of Ascending Node
 - Longitude of Pericenter
 - Precession Angle
 - Tidal Tau
 
 The different plotting routines are:
 - CSOH, Cassini State Obliquity Histogram. Figure 2 in the paper.
 - THeP, Tidal Heating Plot. Figure 3 in the paper.
 - THeSP, Tidal heating Substraction Plot. Figure 4 in the paper.
 - POE, Plot of Orbital Evolution. Figure 5 in the paper.


To run this example
-------------------

.. code-block:: bash
    vspace vspace.in
    multi-planet vspace.in <no. cores>
    python THeSP_Control.py
    multi_planet ctrl.in <no. cores>
    python [RoutineName].py <pdf | png>

Note, the second step of this code block can take several days to complete. It is recommended to shunt this process to the background.
Instructions and details for each routine are present in their respective folders.
