Lunar Near-Surface Volatile Sample Return
Igor Aleinov, Michael J. Way, Christopher W. Hamilton +1
The origin, distribution, depth and volume of lunar volatiles remain open questions. One of the possible sources of Moon's volatiles is their volcanic outgassing during the peak of…
Climates of Warm Earth-Like Planets III: Fractional Habitability from a Water Cycle Perspective
Anthony D. Del Genio, M. J. Way, Nancy Y. Kiang +3
The habitable fraction of a planet's surface is important for the detectability of surface biosignatures. The extent and distribution of habitable areas is influenced by external p…
Modeling a Transient Secondary Paleo-Lunar Atmosphere: 3-D Simulations and Analysis
I. Aleinov, M. J. Way, C. Harman +3
The lunar history of water deposition, loss, and transport post-accretion has become an important consideration in relation to the possibility of a human outpost on the Moon. Very…
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 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…
