Anoxic Atmospheres on Mars Driven by Volcanism: Implications for Past Environments and Life
Steven F. Sholes, Megan L. Smith, Mark W. Claire +2
Mars today has no active volcanism and its atmosphere is oxidizing, dominated by the photochemistry of CO2 and H2O. Using a one-dimensional photochemical model, we consider whether…
ESA Voyage 2050 White Paper: Detecting life outside our solar system with a large high-contrast-imaging mission
Ignas Snellen, Simon Albrecht, Guillem Anglada-Escude +64
In this white paper, we recommend the European Space Agency plays a proactive role in developing a global collaborative effort to construct a large high-contrast imaging space tele…
Long Term Planetary Habitability and the Carbonate-Silicate Cycle
Andrew J. Rushby, Martin Johnson, Benjamin J. W. Mills +2
The potential habitability of an exoplanet is traditionally assessed by determining if its orbit falls within the circumstellar `habitable zone' of its star, defined as the distanc…
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 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.…
Abiotic Ozone and Oxygen in Atmospheres Similar to Prebiotic Earth
Shawn D. Domagal-Goldman, Antígona Segura, Mark W. Claire +2
The search for life on planets outside our solar system will use spectroscopic identification of atmospheric biosignatures. The most robust remotely-detectable potential biosignatu…
Using Dimers to Measure Biosignatures and Atmospheric Pressure for Terrestrial Exoplanets
Amit Misra, Victoria Meadows, Mark Claire +1
We present a new method to probe atmospheric pressure on Earthlike planets using (O2-O2) dimers in the near-infrared. We also show that dimer features could be the most readily det…
Ensemble Properties of Comets in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Michael Solontoi, Zeljko Ivezic, Mario Juric +10
We present the ensemble properties of 31 comets (27 resolved and 4 unresolved) observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This sample of comets represents about 1 comet per 1…
