In Search of Future Earths: Assessing the possibility of finding Earth analogues in the later stages of their habitable lifetimes
J. T. O'Malley-James, J. S. Greaves, J. A. Raven +1
Earth will become uninhabitable within 2-3 Gyr as a result of the moving boundaries of the habitable zone caused by the increasing luminosity of the Sun. Predictions about the futu…
Surface Flux Patterns on Planets in Circumbinary Systems, and Potential for Photosynthesis
Duncan H. Forgan, Alexander Mead, Charles S. Cockell +1
Recently, the Kepler Space Telescope has detected several planets in orbit around a close binary star system. These so-called circumbinary planets will experience non-trivial spati…
Photosynthetic Potential of Planets in 3:2 Spin Orbit Resonances
S. P. Brown, A. J. Mead, D. H. Forgan +2
Photosynthetic life requires sufficient photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) to metabolise. On Earth, plant behaviour, physiology and metabolism are sculpted around the night-…
Swansong Biospheres II: The final signs of life on terrestrial planets near the end of their habitable lifetimes
Jack T. O'Malley-James, Charles S. Cockell, Jane S. Greaves +1
The biosignatures of life on Earth do not remain static, but change considerably over the planet's habitable lifetime. Earth's future biosphere, much like that of the early Earth,…
Swansong Biospheres: Refuges for life and novel microbial biospheres on terrestrial planets near the end of their habitable lifetimes
J. T. O'Malley-James, J. S. Greaves, J. A. Raven +1
The future biosphere on Earth (as with its past) will be made up predominantly of unicellular microorganisms. Unicellular life was probably present for at least 2.5 Gyr before mult…
