Notes. Different albedos and different depths of heat penetration are used. For each case, the table gives a, the Bond albedo of the planetary surface, and Pmin, the shortest rotation period of the planet compatible with the simulated data (with a 68% probability, equivalent to the usual 1σ uncertainy).
