Exoplanet Exergy: Why useful work matters for planetary habitabilty
Caleb Scharf
The circumstellar habitable zone and its various refinements serves as a useful entry point for discussing the potential for a planet to generate and sustain life. But little atten…
Climates of Warm Earth-like Planets II: Rotational 'Goldilocks' Zones for Fractional Habitability and Silicate Weathering
Tiffany Jansen, Caleb Scharf, Michael Way +1
Planetary rotation rate has a significant effect on atmospheric circulation, where the strength of the Coriolis effect in part determines the efficiency of latitudinal heat transpo…
Possible constraints on exoplanet magnetic field strengths from planet-star interaction
Caleb A. Scharf
A small percentage of normal stars harbor giant planets that orbit within a few tenths of an astronomical unit. At such distances the potential exists for significant tidal and mag…
Generalized Milankovitch Cycles and Longterm Climatic Habitability
David S. Spiegel, Sean N. Raymond, Courtney D. Dressing +2
Although the Earth's orbit is never far from circular, terrestrial planets around other stars might experience substantial changes in eccentricity that could lead to climate change…
Habitable Climates: The Influence of Eccentricity
Courtney D. Dressing, David S. Spiegel, Caleb A. Scharf +2
In the outer regions of the habitable zone, the risk of transitioning into a globally frozen "snowball" state poses a threat to the habitability of planets with the capacity to hos…
New Worlds: Evaluating terrestrial planets as astrophysical objects
Caleb A. Scharf, David S. Spiegel, Mark Chandler +4
Terrestrial exoplanets are on the verge of joining the ranks of astronomically accessible objects. Interpreting their observable characteristics, and informing decisions on instrum…
