Magnetic shielding of exomoons beyond the circumplanetary habitable edge
René Heller, Jorge I. Zuluaga
With most planets and planetary candidates detected in the stellar habitable zone (HZ) being super-Earths and gas giants, rather than Earth-like planets, we naturally wonder if the…
Rotational Synchronization May Enhance Habitability for Circumbinary Planets: Kepler Binary Case Studies
Paul A. Mason, Jorge I. Zuluaga, Joni Clark +1
We report a mechanism capable of reducing (or increasing) stellar activity in binary stars, thereby potentially enhancing (or destroying) circumbinary habitability. In single stars…
The location of Asteroidal Belt Comets (ABCs), in a comets' evolutionary diagram: The Lazarus Comets
Ignacio Ferrin, Jorge Zuluaga, Pablo Cuartas
There is a group of newly recognized asteroids in the main belt that are exhibiting cometary characteristics. We will call them Asteroidal Belt Comets or ABCs. An analysis of their…
The Influence of Thermal Evolution in the Magnetic Protection of Terrestrial Planets
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Sebastian Bustamante, Pablo A. Cuartas +1
Magnetic protection of potentially habitable planets plays a central role in determining their actual habitability and/or the chances of detecting atmospheric biosignatures. We dev…
The orbit of the Chelyabinsk event impactor as reconstructed from amateur and public footage
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Ignacio Ferrin, Stefan Geens
A ballistic reconstruction of a meteoroid orbit can be made if enough information is available about its trajectory inside the atmosphere. A few methods have been devised in the pa…
A preliminary reconstruction of the orbit of the Chelyabinsk Meteoroid
Jorge I. Zuluaga, Ignacio Ferrin
In February 15 2013 a medium-sized meteoroid impacted the atmosphere in the region of Chelyabinsk, Russia. After its entrance to the atmosphere and after travel by several hun- dre…
