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…
Spectral signatures of photosynthesis I: Review of Earth organisms
Nancy Y. Kiang, Janet Siefert, Govindjee +1
Why do plants reflect in the green and have a 'red edge' in the red, and should extrasolar photosynthesis be the same? We provide: 1) a brief review of how photosynthesis works; 2)…
Disk-averaged Spectra & light-curves of Earth
G. Tinetti, V. S. Meadows, D. Crisp +6
We are using computer models to explore the observational sensitivity to changes in atmospheric and surface properties, and the detectability of biosignatures, in the globally aver…
