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…
Geostrophic wind induced by latitudinal variation in gravitational acceleration on oblate planets
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Prabal Saxena, Eric T. Wolf +1
The population of known extrasolar planets includes giant and terrestrial planets that closely orbit their host star. Such planets experience significant tidal distortions that can…
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 Need for Laboratory Work to Aid in The Understanding of Exoplanetary Atmospheres
Jonathan J. Fortney, Tyler D. Robinson, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +31
Advancements in our understanding of exoplanetary atmospheres, from massive gas giants down to rocky worlds, depend on the constructive challenges between observations and models.…
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…
