Modeled reflection (left column) and emission (right column) spectra for planetary “edge cases” around the Sun. Each row represents a different pCO2 value of 5, 7.5, and 10 bar, respectively. Blue spectral lines indicate the highest insolation for each pCO2 considered that does not reach equilibrium. Red spectral lines denote the lowest insolation that reaches equilibrium and is considered to be a habitable planet. H2O features are noted with black lines. All unlabeled features correspond to CO2. Temperature values that correspond to these insolation values can be found in Table 2.
