Life in the Cosmic Neighbourhood: Galactic Habitable Zones in the EAGLE Simulations

Luke A. Barnes, Geraint F. Lewis, Jaime Salcido +3

When and where is life most likely to form in the universe? We use the EAGLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulations to investigate the prevalence and properties of life-friendly c…

MeerKAT view of the Dancing Ghosts -- Peculiar Galaxy Pair PKS 2130-538 in Abell 3785

Velibor Velović, William D. Cotton, Miroslav D. Filipovi'c +3

We present MeerKAT L-band (886-1682 MHz) observations of the extended radio structure of the peculiar galaxy pair PKS 2130-538 known as the "Dancing Ghosts". The complex of bending…

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Origin of Life Scenarios

McCullen Sandora, Vladimir Airapetian, Luke Barnes +2

If the origin of life is rare and sensitive to the local conditions at the site of its emergence, then, using the principle of mediocrity within a multiverse framework, we may expe…

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Stellar and Atmospheric Habitability

McCullen Sandora, Vladimir Airapetian, Luke Barnes +1

Stellar activity and planetary atmospheric properties have the potential to strongly influence habitability. To date, neither have been adequately studied in the multiverse context…

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Planetary Characteristics

McCullen Sandora, Vladimir Airapetian, Luke Barnes +1

Recent detections of potentially habitable exoplanets around sunlike stars demand increased exploration of the physical conditions that can sustain life, by whatever methods availa…

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Element Abundances

McCullen Sandora, Vladimir Airapetian, Luke Barnes +2

We investigate the dependence of elemental abundances on physical constants, and the implications this has for the distribution of complex life for various proposed habitability cr…
