Alien Maps of an Ocean-Bearing World
N. B. Cowan, E. Agol, V. S. Meadows +8
[Abridged] To simulate the kinds of observations that will eventually be obtained for exoplanets, the Deep Impact spacecraft obtained light curves of Earth at seven wavebands spann…
Strong Water Absorption in the Dayside Emission Spectrum of the Planet HD 189733b
Carl J. Grillmair, Adam Burrows, David Charbonneau +6
Recent observations of the extrasolar planet HD 189733b did not reveal the presence of water in the emission spectrum of the planet. Yet models of such 'Hot Jupiter' planets predic…
A decreased probability of habitable planet formation around low-mass stars
Sean N. Raymond, John Scalo, Victoria Meadows
Smaller terrestrial planets (< 0.3 Earth masses) are less likely to retain the substantial atmospheres and ongoing tectonic activity probably required to support life. A key elemen…
Spectral signatures of photosynthesis II: coevolution with other stars and the atmosphere on extrasolar worlds
Nancy Y. Kiang, Antigona Segura, Giovanna Tinetti +6
As photosynthesis on Earth produces the primary signatures of life that can be detected astronomically at the global scale, a strong focus of the search for extrasolar life will be…
Biosignatures from Earth-Like Planets Around M Dwarfs
Antigona Segura, James F. Kasting, Victoria Meadows +5
Coupled one-dimensional photochemical-climate calculations have been performed for hypothetical Earth-like planets around M dwarfs. Visible, near-infrared and thermal-infrared synt…
Disk-averaged synthetic spectra of Mars
Giovanna Tinetti, Victoria S. Meadows, David Crisp +3
The principal goal of the NASA Terrestrial Planet Finder (TPF) and ESA Darwin mission concepts is to directly detect and characterize extrasolar terrestrial (Earth-sized) planets.…
