Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts
A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101
This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…
Assessing the Climate and Habitability of Tidally Locked Rocky Exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Jost von Hardenberg +5
Tidally locked exoplanets orbiting M dwarf stars are prime targets in the search for habitable worlds, yet their complex climate dynamics challenge conventional models of habitabil…
Interaction between vegetation and Snowball phases in the late Proterozoic Earth
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +3
Between 2.4 and 0.6 Gy ago, our planet underwent several episodes of global glaciations, including the Snowball Earth case that ended 635 My ago. Causes of this last Snowball event…
Impact of vegetation albedo on the habitability of Earth-like exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +8
Vegetation can modify the planetary surface albedo via the Charney mechanism, as plants are usually darker than the bare surface of the continents. We updated ESTM (Earth-like Surf…
Seasonal thaws under mid-to-low pressure atmospheres on Early Mars
Paolo Simonetti, Giovanni Vladilo, Stavro L. Ivanovski +6
Despite decades of scientific research on the subject, the climate of the first 1.5 Gyr of Mars history has not been fully understood yet. Especially challenging is the need to rec…
Climate and atmospheric models of rocky planets: habitability and observational properties
L. Silva, R. Bevilacqua, L. Biasiotti +7
The quest for atmospheric spectral signatures that may witness biological activity in exoplanets is focused on rocky planets. The best targets for future, challenging spectroscopic…
