Atmospheric reconnaissance of the habitable-zone Earth-sized planets orbiting TRAPPIST-1
J. de Wit, H. R. Wakeford, N. Lewis +14
Seven temperate Earth-sized exoplanets readily amenable for atmospheric studies transit the nearby ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1 (refs 1,2). Their atmospheric regime is unknown a…
Deciphering Spectral Fingerprints of Habitable Extrasolar Planets
L. Kaltenegger, F. Selsis, M. Fridlund +2
In this paper we discuss how we can read a planets spectrum to assess its habitability and search for the signatures of a biosphere. After a decade rich in giant exoplanet detectio…
Stellar Aspects of Habitability: Characterizing Target Stars for Terrestrial Planet Search Missions
L. Kaltenegger, C. Eiroa, I. Ribas +7
In this paper we present and discuss the criteria for selecting potential target stars suitable for the search for Earth like planets, with a special emphasis on the stellar aspect…
DARWIN - A Mission to Detect, and Search for Life on, Extrasolar Planets
C. S. Cockell, A. Leger, M. Fridlund +47
The discovery of extra-solar planets is one of the greatest achievements of modern astronomy. The detection of planets with a wide range of masses demonstrates that extra-solar pla…
