Climates of Warm Earth-Like Planets III: Fractional Habitability from a Water Cycle Perspective
Anthony D. Del Genio, M. J. Way, Nancy Y. Kiang +3
The habitable fraction of a planet's surface is important for the detectability of surface biosignatures. The extent and distribution of habitable areas is influenced by external p…
The Importance of 3D General Circulation Models for Characterizing the Climate and Habitability of Terrestrial Extrasolar Planets
Eric T. Wolf, Ravi Kopparapu, Vladimir Airapetian +27
While recently discovered exotic new planet-types have both challenged our imaginations and broadened our knowledge of planetary system workings, perhaps the most compelling object…
Highly Volcanic Exoplanets, Lava Worlds, and Magma Ocean Worlds: An Emerging Class of Dynamic Exoplanets of Significant Scientific Priority
Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Prabal Saxena +39
Highly volcanic exoplanets, which can be variously characterized as 'lava worlds', 'magma ocean worlds', or 'super-Ios' are high priority targets for investigation. The term 'lava…
Exoplanet Science Priorities from the Perspective of Internal and Surface Processes for Silicate and Ice Dominated Worlds
Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Avi M. Mandell +35
The geophysics of extrasolar planets is a scientific topic often regarded as standing largely beyond the reach of near-term observations. This reality in no way diminishes the cent…
Modeling Venus-Like Worlds Through Time
M. J. Way, Anthony Del Genio, David S. Amundsen
We explore the atmospheric and surface history of a hypothetical paleo-Venus climate using a 3-D General Circulation Model. We constrain our model with the in-situ and remote sensi…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Observation and Modeling of Exoplanet Environments
Anthony Del Genio, Vladimir Airapetian, Daniel Apai +8
The search for life on planets outside our solar system has largely been the province of the astrophysics community until recently. A major development since the NASA Astrobiology…
