[TML] Habitable Zones

[Tim Rattray]

Ahh, found it.

  L = 4 $B&P(B r^2 $B&R(B T^4

where L is the star's luminosity, r is the distance from the center of
the star, $B&R(B is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (= 5.67 $B!_(B 10^ -8 W m-2
K-1), and T is the effective temperature (in Kelvin)

So solve for r gives us

r^2 = L / 4 $B&P(B $B&R(B T^4  or r = SQRT(L / 4 $B&P(B $B&R(B T^4)
Now do two calcs, one with T = 373K (inner HZ) and one with T = 273K (outer HZ)


Question is, what is L measured in?  (r is in meters)
