The Kepler space mission has discovered many planets around
other stars, some of which are in the so-called habitable zone. In order
for these planets to harbour terrestrial-type life, it is imperative
that they experience a stable climate on long time scales.
Earth experiences regular ice ages caused by perburbations from the
other planets that cause the so-called Milankovic cycles. Such climate
changes induced by the dynamics of the planetary system must be kept to
a minimum. Here we report a case study of long-term climate cycles on
the super-Earth HD 40307 g and extend this methodology to other systems.
