| Again, trying to mimic the stellar classification. #
| Description
| 0-0.5 | 3000K+, this would place it in the hotter dM regime. | 1-1.5 | 2500K, this would place it in the dM8-9 spectra. Probably irradiated planets and irradiated protoplanets. | 2-2.5 | 1300K, this would place it in the dL spectra. | 3-3.5 | ~900K | 4-4.5 | ~700K, beginning of the dT spectra. Possibly the temp when Jupiter was a protoplanet, based on an AJ paper, (sorry, no links). | 5-5.5 | ~350K | 6-6.5 | ~275K, mean Earth temp. range (287K). | 7-7.5 | ~150K | 8-8.5 | ~75K | 9-9.5 | ~50K to 0K |
This is a rough estimate. Any suggestions on possibly where to break up or move things around, drop a note. As for the very hot area, WASP-12b is ~2525K. It has already surpassed the dL star temperature range. And this planet is being irradiated by a normal star, not a hot pulsar. Sections, 8, 8.5, 9, and 9.5 might not be very different. They may even be combined if there are more breaks in the lower numbers of hotter temperatures. _________________ Thanks, CarpD (^_^)

| D'oh, too many windows. This needs to move to Extrasolar Planetology. Sorry for the error. _________________ Thanks, CarpD (^_^)

| That's neat. I developed a system of classification myself, it includes both stars and planets on one scale, but it still needs some work. Might post it here actually. | |

Any plans on posting it on this forum? _________________ Thanks, CarpD (^_^)
