Mineral dust increases the habitability of terrestrial planets but confounds biomarker detection
Ian A. Boutle, Manoj Joshi, F. Hugo Lambert +5
Identification of habitable planets beyond our solar system is a key goal of current and future space missions. Yet habitability depends not only on the stellar irradiance, but equ…
Earths polar night boundary layer as an analogue for dark side inversions on synchronously rotating terrestrial exoplanets
Manoj Joshi, Andrew Elvidge, Robin Wordsworth +1
A key factor in determining the potential habitability of synchronously rotating planets is the strength of the atmospheric boundary layer inversion between the dark side surface a…
The Effect of Land Fraction and Host Star Spectral Energy Distribution on the Planetary Albedo of Terrestrial Worlds
Andrew J. Rushby, Aomawa L. Shields, Manoj Joshi
The energy balance and climate of planets can be affected by the reflective properties of their land, ocean, and frozen surfaces. Here we investigate the effect of host star spectr…
Demarcating circulation regimes of synchronously rotating terrestrial planets within the habitable zone
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Eric. T. Wolf, Manoj Joshi +2
We investigate the atmospheric dynamics of terrestrial planets in synchronous rotation within the habitable zone of low-mass stars using the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM). The s…
Spectrum-driven Planetary Deglaciation Due to Increases in Stellar Luminosity
Aomawa L. Shields, Cecilia M. Bitz, Victoria S. Meadows +2
Distant planets in globally ice-covered, "snowball", states may depend on increases in their host stars' luminosity to become hospitable for surface life. Using a General Circulati…
The Effect of Host Star Spectral Energy Distribution and Ice-Albedo Feedback on the Climate of Extrasolar Planets
Aomawa L. Shields, Victoria S. Meadows, Cecilia M. Bitz +3
Planetary climate can be affected by the interaction of the host star spectral energy distribution with the wavelength-dependent reflectivity of ice and snow. Here we explore this…
