Photosynthetic exergy I. Thermodynamic limits for habitable-zone planets
Giovanni Covone, Amedeo Balbi
Photosynthesis is central to Earth's biosphere and a prime candidate for sustaining complex life on habitable exoplanets, yet a thermodynamically consistent treatment of the work p…
What if we find nothing? Bayesian analysis of the statistical information of null results in future exoplanet habitability and biosignature surveys
Daniel Angerhausen, Amedeo Balbi, Andjelka B. Kovačević +2
Future telescopes will survey temperate, terrestrial exoplanets to estimate the frequency of habitable () or inhabited () planets. This study aims…
Waste Heat and Habitability: Constraints from Technological Energy Consumption
Amedeo Balbi, Manasvi Lingam
Waste heat production represents an inevitable consequence of energy conversion as per the laws of thermodynamics. Based on this fact, by using simple theoretical models, we analyz…
The Impact of Tidal Disruption Events on Galactic Habitability
E. Pacetti, A. Balbi, M. Lingam +2
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) are characterized by the emission of a short burst of high-energy radiation. We analyze the cumulative impact of TDEs on galactic habitability using…
