Inner Habitable Zone Boundary for Eccentric Exoplanets

The climate of a planet can be strongly affected by its eccentricity due to variations in the stellar flux. There are two limits for the dependence of the inner habitable zone boundary (IHZ) on eccentricity: (1) the mean stellar flux approximation ( ${S}_{{\rm{IHZ}}}\propto \sqrt{1-{e}^{2}}$ ), in w...
