(a) H2O cloud (left column) and CO2 cloud (right column) coverage for OHZ “edge cases” around the Sun where pCO2 = 7.5 bar. The top row indicates the minimum insolation that converges to a potentially habitable planet in these conditions. The bottom row shows the slightly lower insolation where the planet continues to cool over time ultimately becoming frozen. (b) H2O cloud (left column) and CO2 cloud (right column) coverage for OHZ edge cases around TRAPPIST-1 where pCO2 = 10 bar. The top row indicates the minimum insolation value that results in a potentially habitable planet whose liquid H2O fraction = 100%. The bottom row shows a lower insolation value where the planet is frozen.
