Quickly-ramping (full flux around frame 20)

As a reminder, here are the parameters for the planet:

Simulation domain: 20 R_p cube (0.0146 AU)

rho_p = 1.625d-15 g/cm3

T_p = 3000 K (not really important as long as wind gets hotter - T_wind should be >5300 K for this planet)

M_p = 0.73 MJ

R_p = 1.529 RJ

a = 65 R_p = 0.0475 AU

M_s = 1.23 MS (for tidal forces)

F_UV = 2d13 phot/cm2/s (Sun-like for orbital radius)

F_Ly-alpha = 4.1d14 phot/cm2/s, 4.1d15 phot/cm2/s, 4.1d13 phot/cm2/s (HD209458b flux, 10x, 1/10x - would it be better to do 5x and 1/5x?) (ramping up in approximately 1.5 CT, or 1/6 orbit)
