Assessment of Isoprene as a Possible Biosignature Gas in Exoplanets with Anoxic Atmospheres
Zhuchang Zhan, Sara Seager, Janusz Jurand Petkowski +4
Research for possible biosignature gases on habitable exoplanet atmosphere is accelerating. We add isoprene, C5H8, to the roster of biosignature gases. We found that formation of i…
The Venusian Lower Atmosphere Haze as a Depot for Desiccated Microbial Life: A Proposed Life Cycle for Persistence of the Venusian Aerial Biosphere
Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Peter Gao +4
We revisit the hypothesis that there is life in the Venusian clouds to propose a life cycle that resolves the conundrum of how life can persist aloft for hundreds of millions to bi…
Molecular Simulations for the Spectroscopic Detection of Atmospheric Gases
Clara Sousa-Silva, Janusz J Petkowski, Sara Seager
Unambiguously identifying molecules in spectra is of fundamental importance for a variety of scientific and industrial uses. Interpreting atmospheric spectra for the remote detecti…
Phosphine as a Biosignature Gas in Exoplanet Atmospheres
Clara Sousa-Silva, Sara Seager, Sukrit Ranjan +4
A long-term goal of exoplanet studies is the identification and detection of biosignature gases. Beyond the most discussed biosignature gas O, only a handful of gases have been…
