Warming Early Mars with Climate Cycling: The Effect of CO2-H2 Collision-induced Absorption
Benjamin P. C. Hayworth, Ravi Kumar Kopparapu, Jacob Haqq-Misra +5
Explaining the evidence for surface liquid water on early Mars has been a challenge for climate modelers, as the sun was ~30% less luminous during the late-Noachian. We propose tha…
Project Blue: Visible Light Imaging Search for Terrestrial-class Exoplanets in the Habitable Zones of Alpha Centauri A and B
Jon Morse, Eduardo Bendek, Nathalie Cabrol +9
Project Blue is designed to deliver a small coronagraphic space telescope mission to low-Earth orbit capable of detecting an Earth-like planet in the habitable zones of the Sun-lik…
Exploring Other Worlds: Science Questions for Future Direct Imaging Missions (EXOPAG SAG15 Report)
Daniel Apai, Nicolas Cowan, Ravikumar Kopparapu +30
The NASA Exoplanet Exploration Program's SAG15 group has solicited, collected, and organized community input on high-level science questions that could be addressed with future dir…
Climate Cycling on Early Mars Caused by the Carbonate-Silicate Cycle
Natasha E. Batalha, Ravi K. Kopparapu, Jacob Haqq-Misra +1
For decades, scientists have tried to explain the evidence for fluvial activity on early Mars, but a consensus has yet to emerge regarding the mechanism for producing it. One hypot…
A Catalog of Kepler Habitable Zone Exoplanet Candidates
Stephen R. Kane, Michelle L. Hill, James F. Kasting +11
The NASA Kepler mission has discovered thousands of new planetary candidates, many of which have been confirmed through follow-up observations. A primary goal of the mission is to…
Could Cirrus Clouds Have Warmed Early Mars?
Ramses M. Ramirez, James F. Kasting
The presence of the ancient valley networks on Mars indicates that the climate at 3.8 Ga was warm enough to allow substantial liquid water to flow on the martian surface for extend…
