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…
Limit cycles can reduce the width of the habitable zone
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Ravi Kumar Kopparapu, Natasha E. Batalha +2
The liquid water habitable zone (HZ) describes the orbital distance at which a terrestrial planet can maintain above-freezing conditions through regulation by the carbonate-silicat…
The inner edge of the habitable zone for synchronously rotating planets around low-mass stars using general circulation models
Ravi kumar Kopparapu, Eric T. Wolf, Jacob Haqq-Misra +5
Terrestrial planets at the inner edge of the habitable zone of late-K and M-dwarf stars are expected to be in synchronous rotation, as a consequence of strong tidal interactions wi…
