Proxima Centauri b, an Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of our neareststellar neighbour, has just been discovered. A theoretical framework ofsynchronously rotating planets, in which the risk of a runaway greenhouse onthe sunlight side and atmospheric collapse on the reverse side are mutuallyameliorated via heat transport is discussed. This is developed via simple(tutorial) models of the climate. These show that lower incident stellar fluxmeans that less heat transport, so less atmospheric mass, is required. Theincident stellar flux at Proxima Centauri b is indeed low, which may helpenhance habitability if it has suffered some atmospheric loss or began with alow volatile inventory.

Tutorial models of the climate and habitability of Proxima Centauri b: a thin atmosphere is sufficient to distribute heat given low stellar flux
