Effects of Spin-Orbit Resonances and Tidal Heating on the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone
Christopher M. Colose, Jacob Haqq-Misra, Eric T. Wolf +4
Much attention has been given to the climate dynamics and habitable boundaries of synchronously rotating planets around low mass stars. However, other rotational states are possibl…
Venusian Habitable Climate Scenarios: Modeling Venus through time and applications to slowly rotating Venus-Like Exoplanets
M. J. Way, Anthony, D. Del Genio
One popular view of Venus' climate history describes a world that has spent much of its life with surface liquid water, plate tectonics, and a stable temperate climate. Part of the…
TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI). Motivations and protocol version 1.0
Thomas J. Fauchez, Martin Turbet, Eric T. Wolf +10
Upcoming telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), or the Extremely Large Telescope (ELTs), may soon be able to characterize, through transmission, emission or refl…
Enhanced Habitability on High Obliquity Bodies near the Outer Edge of the Habitable Zone of Sun-like Stars
Christopher M. Colose, Anthony D. Del Genio, Michael J. Way
High obliquity planets represent potentially extreme limits of terrestrial climate, as they exhibit large seasonality, a reversed annual-mean pole-to-equator gradient of stellar he…
Impact of Space Weather on Climate and Habitability of Terrestrial Type Exoplanets
V. S. Airapetian, R. Barnes, O. Cohen +43
The current progress in the detection of terrestrial type exoplanets has opened a new avenue in the characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres and in the search for biosignatures…
The Need for Laboratory Measurements and Ab Initio Studies to Aid Understanding of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Jonathan J. Fortney, Tyler D. Robinson, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +85
We are now on a clear trajectory for improvements in exoplanet observations that will revolutionize our ability to characterize their atmospheric structure, composition, and circul…
Albedos, Equilibrium Temperatures, and Surface Temperatures of Habitable Planets
Anthony D. Del Genio, Nancy Y. Kiang, Michael J. Way +8
The potential habitability of known exoplanets is often categorized by a nominal equilibrium temperature assuming a Bond albedo of either 0.3, similar to Earth, or 0. As an indicat…
Climates of Warm Earth-like Planets II: Rotational 'Goldilocks' Zones for Fractional Habitability and Silicate Weathering
Tiffany Jansen, Caleb Scharf, Michael Way +1
Planetary rotation rate has a significant effect on atmospheric circulation, where the strength of the Coriolis effect in part determines the efficiency of latitudinal heat transpo…
Climates of Warm Earth-like Planets I: 3-D Model Simulations
M. J. Way, A. D. Del Genio, I. Aleinov +3
We present a large ensemble of simulations of an Earth-like world with increasing insolation and rotation rate. Unlike previous work utilizing idealized aquaplanet configurations w…
The Inner Solar System's Habitability Through Time
Anthony D. Del Genio, David Brain, Lena Noack +1
Earth, Mars, and Venus, irradiated by an evolving Sun, have had fascinating but diverging histories of habitability. Although only Earth's surface is considered to be habitable tod…
Exoplanet Diversity in the Era of Space-based Direct Imaging Missions
Ravi Kopparapu, Eric Hebrard, Rus Belikov +55
This whitepaper discusses the diversity of exoplanets that could be detected by future observations, so that comparative exoplanetology can be performed in the upcoming era of larg…
Habitable Climate Scenarios for Proxima Centauri b With a Dynamic Ocean
Anthony D. Del Genio, Michael J. Way, David S. Amundsen +4
The nearby exoplanet Proxima Centauri b will be a prime future target for characterization, despite questions about its retention of water. Climate models with static oceans sugges…
Exoplanet Biosignatures: A Framework for Their Assessment
David C. Catling, Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Nancy Y. Kiang +7
Finding life on exoplanets from telescopic observations is an ultimate goal of exoplanet science. Life produces gases and other substances, such as pigments, which can have distinc…
NIR-Driven Moist Upper Atmospheres of Synchronously Rotating Temperate Terrestrial Exoplanets
Yuka Fujii, Anthony D. Del Genio, David S. Amundsen
HO is a key molecule in characterizing atmospheres of temperate terrestrial planets, and observations of transmission spectra are expected to play a primary role in detecting i…
Resolving Orbital and Climate Keys of Earth and Extraterrestrial Environments with Dynamics 1.0: A General Circulation Model for Simulating the Climates of Rocky Planets
M. J. Way, Igor Aleinov, David. S. Amundsen +8
Resolving Orbital and Climate Keys of Earth and Extraterrestrial Environments with Dynamics (ROCKE-3D) is a 3-Dimensional General Circulation Model (GCM) developed at the NASA Godd…
Was Venus the First Habitable World of our Solar System?
Michael J. Way, Anthony D. Del Genio, Nancy Y. Kiang +5
Present-day Venus is an inhospitable place with surface temperatures approaching 750K and an atmosphere over 90 times as thick as present day Earth's. Billions of years ago the pic…
