Blackbody equilibrium temperature for an incident flux, Kelvin.

The Bond albedo is a flat 0.2 rather than the body's own, and that is a deliberate limit rather than an oversight: the appearance — which is where a geometric albedo lives — is drawn after the surface, and the geometric albedo is not the Bond albedo anyway (Earth's pair is 0.434 and 0.306). The grammar reads this to decide how fast ice relaxes, which is a smoothstep over a hundred kelvin; a fifth of an albedo moves it by five.
