Cosmic Thermobiology: Thermal Constraints on the Origin and Evolution of Life in the Universe

Charles H. Lineweaver, David Schwartzman

We review the thermal history of the Universe. We obtain a new estimate for the thermal history of the Earth over the past four billion years using a biological thermometer based o…

Testing the CMB Data for Systematic Effects

Louise M. Griffiths, Charles H. Lineweaver

Under the assumption that the concordance Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) model is the correct model, we test the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy data for systematic eff…

How common are Earths? How common are Jupiters?

Charles H. Lineweaver, Daniel Grether, Marton Hidas

Among the billions of planetary systems that fill the Universe, we would like to know how ours fits in. Exoplanet data can already be used to address the question: How common are J…

What can exoplanets tell us about our Solar System?

Charles H. Lineweaver, Daniel Grether, Marton Hidas

We update our analysis of recent exoplanet data that gives us a partial answer to the question: How does our Solar System compare to the other planetary systems in the Universe? Ex…
