Habitability Models for Astrobiology
Abel Méndez, Edgard E. Rivera-Valentín, Dirk Schulze-Makuch +31
Habitability has been generally defined as the capability of an environment to support life. Ecologists have been using Habitat Suitability Models (HSMs) for more than four decades…
TRAPPIST Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI) workshop report
Thomas J. Fauchez, Martin Turbet, Denis E. Sergeev +31
The era of atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets is just around the corner. Modeling prior to observations is crucial in order to predict the observational challen…
Persistence of Flare-Driven Atmospheric Chemistry on Rocky Habitable Zone Worlds
Howard Chen, Zhuchang Zhan, Allison Youngblood +3
Low-mass stars show evidence of vigorous magnetic activity in the form of large flares and coronal mass ejections. Such space weather events may have important ramifications for th…
Habitability and Spectroscopic Observability of Warm M-dwarf Exoplanets Evaluated with a 3D Chemistry-Climate Model
Howard Chen, Eric T. Wolf, Zhuchang Zhan +1
Planets residing in circumstellar habitable zones (CHZs) offer our best opportunities to test hypotheses of life's potential pervasiveness and complexity. Constraining the precise…
Biosignature Anisotropy Modeled on Temperate Tidally Locked M-dwarf Planets
Howard Chen, Eric T. Wolf, Ravi Kopparapu +2
A planet's atmospheric constituents (e.g., O, O, HO, CO, CH, NO) can provide clues to its surface habitability, and may offer biosignature targets for r…
Effects of Planetesimal Accretion on the Thermal and Structural Evolution of Sub-Neptunes
Sourav Chatterjee, Howard Chen
A remarkable discovery of NASA's Kepler mission is the wide diversity in the average densities of planets of similar mass. After gas disk dissipation, fully formed planets could in…
