The Pale Green Dot: A Method to Characterize Proxima Centauri b using Exo-Aurorae
Rodrigo Luger, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, David P. Fleming +5
We examine the feasibility of detecting auroral emission from the potentially habitable exoplanet Proxima Centauri b. Detection of aurorae would yield an independent confirmation o…
The Habitability of Proxima Centauri b: II: Environmental States and Observational Discriminants
Victoria S. Meadows, Giada N. Arney, Edward W. Schwieterman +11
Proxima Centauri b provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the evolution and nature of terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs. Although Proxima Cen b orbits within its s…
The Habitability of Proxima Centauri b I: Evolutionary Scenarios
Rory Barnes, Russell Deitrick, Rodrigo Luger +14
We analyze the evolution of the potentially habitable planet Proxima Centauri b to identify environmental factors that affect its long-term habitability. We consider physical proce…
EVEREST: Pixel Level Decorrelation of K2 Light curves
Rodrigo Luger, Eric Agol, Ethan Kruse +4
We present EVEREST, an open-source pipeline for removing instrumental noise from K2 light curves. EVEREST employs a variant of pixel level decorrelation (PLD) to remove systematics…
The Effect of Orbital Configuration on the Possible Climates and Habitability of Kepler-62f
Aomawa L. Shields, Rory Barnes, Eric Agol +3
As lower-mass stars often host multiple rocky planets, gravitational interactions among planets can have significant effects on climate and habitability over long timescales. Here…
Identifying Planetary Biosignature Impostors: Spectral Features of CO and O4 Resulting from Abiotic O2/O3 Production
Edward W. Schwieterman, Victoria S. Meadows, Shawn D. Domagal-Goldman +6
O2 and O3 have been long considered the most robust individual biosignature gases in a planetary atmosphere, yet multiple mechanisms that may produce them in the absence of life ha…
