Stability of nucleic acid bases in concentrated sulfuric acid: Implications for the habitability of Venus' clouds

Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Maxwell D. Seager +10

What constitutes a habitable planet is a frontier to be explored and requires pushing the boundaries of our terracentric viewpoint for what we deem to be a habitable environment. D…

Constraints on Jupiters from observations of Galactic Bulge microlensing events during 2000

Yiannis Tsapras, Keith Horne, Richard Carson +9

We present observations of 8 Galactic Bulge microlensing events taken with the 1.0m JKT on La Palma during 2000 June and July. The JKT observing schedule was optimized using a prio…
