Toward the Italian Astronomical Community's Contribution to HWO: Science, Technology, and Instrument Concepts
A. Fontana, F. Annibali, N. Antonietti +101
This paper summarizes the interest of the Italian astronomical community in the possible participation in the development of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). It is largely b…
Impact of vegetation albedo on the habitability of Earth-like exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +8
Vegetation can modify the planetary surface albedo via the Charney mechanism, as plants are usually darker than the bare surface of the continents. We updated ESTM (Earth-like Surf…
Seasonal thaws under mid-to-low pressure atmospheres on Early Mars
Paolo Simonetti, Giovanni Vladilo, Stavro L. Ivanovski +6
Despite decades of scientific research on the subject, the climate of the first 1.5 Gyr of Mars history has not been fully understood yet. Especially challenging is the need to rec…
Climate and atmospheric models of rocky planets: habitability and observational properties
L. Silva, R. Bevilacqua, L. Biasiotti +7
The quest for atmospheric spectral signatures that may witness biological activity in exoplanets is focused on rocky planets. The best targets for future, challenging spectroscopic…
EOS-ESTM: A flexible climate model for habitable exoplanets
L. Biasiotti, P. Simonetti, G. Vladilo +8
Rocky planets with temperate conditions provide the best chance for discovering habitable worlds and life outside the Solar System. In the last decades, new instrumental facilities…
ESPRESSO's Early Commissioning Results and Performance Related to Tests of Fundamental Constant Stability
A. C. O. Leite, C. J. A. P. Martins, P. Molaro +4
ESPRESSO is a new high-resolution ultra-stable spectrograph for the VLT, which had its first light on Telescope on November 27th, 2017. The instrument is installed in the Combined…
