Scientific paper

A computer simulation of the physical and chemical processes occurring in extra-solar planetary systems is presented. The simulated data are applicable to a range of planetary systems having a primary star of O.6-1.3 solar mass. The simulation procedures were based on current and generally accepted hypotheses concerning the formation of the planets. Results are presented for a number of planetary characteristics, including: the orbital period; inclination of rotational axis; and the rate of rotation. Some of the physical and chemical data include: radius, density, and surface gravity estimates, and predictions of the existence of life. Estimates of the planetary surface pressure and the chemical composition of the atmosphere are also given.
