The Impact of Supermassive Black Holes on Exoplanet Habitability. I. Spanning the Natural Mass Range
Jourdan Waas, Eric S. Perlman, Manasvi Lingam +5
While the influence of supermassive black hole (SMBH) activity on habitability has garnered attention, the specific effects of active galactic nucleus (AGN) winds, particularly ult…
Science from the In Situ Exploration of the Proxima Centauri System
T. Marshall Eubanks, Jean Schneider, Bruce Bills +11
In the future interstellar exploration at near-relativistic speeds will be possible using beamed energy laser propulsion. With this, spacecraft as small as gm mass picospacecraft b…
Upper atmosphere dynamics and drivers of volatiles loss from terrestrial-type (exo)planets
Daria Kubyshkina, Michael J. Way, Iannis Dandouras +7
Volatile loss from exoplanetary atmospheres and its possible implications for the longevity of habitable surface conditions is a topic of vigorous debate currently. The vast majori…
Water versus land on temperate rocky planets
Claire Marie Guimond, Tilman Spohn, Svetlana Berdyugina +6
Water and land surfaces on a planet interact with gases in the atmosphere and with radiation from the star. These interactions define the environments that prevail on the planet, s…
Deep Learning Based Dynamics Identification and Linearization of Orbital Problems using Koopman Theory
George Nehma, Madhur Tiwari, Manasvi Lingam
The study of the Two-Body and Circular Restricted Three-Body Problems in the field of aerospace engineering and sciences is deeply important because they help describe the motion o…
Waste Heat and Habitability: Constraints from Technological Energy Consumption
Amedeo Balbi, Manasvi Lingam
Waste heat production represents an inevitable consequence of energy conversion as per the laws of thermodynamics. Based on this fact, by using simple theoretical models, we analyz…
