The Pale Orange Dot: The Spectrum and Habitability of Hazy Archean Earth
Giada Arney, Shawn D. Domagal-Goldman, Victoria S. Meadows +6
Recognizing whether a planet can support life is a primary goal of future exoplanet spectral characterization missions, but past research on habitability assessment has largely ign…
The Pale Green Dot: A Method to Characterize Proxima Centauri b using Exo-Aurorae
Rodrigo Luger, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, David P. Fleming +5
We examine the feasibility of detecting auroral emission from the potentially habitable exoplanet Proxima Centauri b. Detection of aurorae would yield an independent confirmation o…
The Habitability of Proxima Centauri b: II: Environmental States and Observational Discriminants
Victoria S. Meadows, Giada N. Arney, Edward W. Schwieterman +11
Proxima Centauri b provides an unprecedented opportunity to understand the evolution and nature of terrestrial planets orbiting M dwarfs. Although Proxima Cen b orbits within its s…
The Habitability of Proxima Centauri b I: Evolutionary Scenarios
Rory Barnes, Russell Deitrick, Rodrigo Luger +14
We analyze the evolution of the potentially habitable planet Proxima Centauri b to identify environmental factors that affect its long-term habitability. We consider physical proce…
The Effect of Orbital Configuration on the Possible Climates and Habitability of Kepler-62f
Aomawa L. Shields, Rory Barnes, Eric Agol +3
As lower-mass stars often host multiple rocky planets, gravitational interactions among planets can have significant effects on climate and habitability over long timescales. Here…
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.…
Identifying Planetary Biosignature Impostors: Spectral Features of CO and O4 Resulting from Abiotic O2/O3 Production
Edward W. Schwieterman, Victoria S. Meadows, Shawn D. Domagal-Goldman +6
O2 and O3 have been long considered the most robust individual biosignature gases in a planetary atmosphere, yet multiple mechanisms that may produce them in the absence of life ha…
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…
Is the Pale Blue Dot unique? Optimized photometric bands for identifying Earth-like exoplanets
Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Edward W. Schwieterman, Benjamin Charnay +4
The next generation of ground and space-based telescopes will image habitable planets around nearby stars. A growing literature describes how to characterize such planets with spec…
