The extrasolar planet GL 581 d: A potentially habitable planet?
P. von Paris, S. Gebauer, M. Godolt +6
The planetary system around the M star Gliese 581 contains at least three close-in potentially low-mass planets, GL 581 c, d, and e. In order to address the question of the habitab…
Detectability of atmospheric features of Earth-like planets in the habitable zone around M dwarfs
F. Wunderlich, M. Godolt, J. L. Grenfell +6
We investigate the detectability of atmospheric spectral features of Earth-like planets in the habitable zone (HZ) around M dwarfs with the future James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)…
Atmospheric studies of habitability in the Gliese 581 system
P. von Paris, S. Gebauer, M. Godolt +2
The M-type star Gliese 581 is orbited by at least one terrestrial planet candidate in the habitable zone, i.e. GL 581 d. Orbital simulations have shown that additional planets insi…
Evolution of Earth-like planetary atmospheres around M-dwarf stars: Assessing the atmospheres and biospheres with a coupled atmosphere biogeochemical model
S. Gebauer, J. L. Grenfell, R. Lehmann +1
Earth-like planets orbiting M-dwarfs are prominent future targets when searching for life outside the solar system. We apply our newly developed Coupled Atmosphere Biogeochemistry…
Clouds in the atmospheres of extrasolar planets. I. Climatic effects of multi-layered clouds for Earth-like planets and implications for habitable zones
D. Kitzmann, A. B. C. Patzer, P. von Paris +5
The effects of multi-layered clouds in the atmospheres of Earth-like planets orbiting different types of stars are studied. The radiative effects of cloud particles are directly co…
Evolution of Earth-like extrasolar planetary atmospheres: Assessing the atmospheres and biospheres of early Earth analog planets with a coupled atmosphere biogeochemical model
S. Gebauer, J. L. Grenfell, J. W. Stock +4
Understanding the evolution of Earth and potentially habitable Earth-like worlds is essential to fathom our origin in the Universe. The search for Earth-like planets in the habitab…
Potential Biosignatures in Super-Earth Atmospheres
H. Rauer, S. Gebauer, P. v. Paris +7
Atmospheric temperature and mixing ratio profiles of terrestrial planets vary with the spectral energy flux distribution for different types of M-dwarf stars and the planetary grav…
Potential Biosignatures in Super-Earth Atmospheres II. Photochemical Responses
J. L. Grenfell, S. Gebauer, M. Godolt +6
Spectral characterization of Super-Earth atmospheres for planets orbiting in the Habitable Zone of M-dwarf stars is a key focus in exoplanet science. A central challenge is to unde…
The extrasolar planet Gliese 581 d: a potentially habitable planet? (Corrigendum to arXiv:1009.5814)
P. von Paris, S. Gebauer, M. Godolt +6
We report here that the equation for H2O Rayleigh scattering was incorrectly stated in the original paper [arXiv:1009.5814]. Instead of a quadratic dependence on refractivity r, we…
