Revisiting the greenhouse effect of non-greenhouse gases in the atmospheres of Earth-like planets
Tetsuo Taki, Hiroyuki Kurokawa, Yuka Fujii +1
Although non-greenhouse gases can vary substantially in abundance in Earth-like atmospheres, their climatic influences remain insufficiently understood. To investigate how such gas…
Testing the Icy Pebble Accretion Hypothesis with Primordial Main Belt Asteroids
Jinfei Yu, Hiroyuki Kurokawa, Tetsuo Taki
Large main-belt asteroids (diameter ) exhibit a surface composition gradient as a function of heliocentric distance, ranging from anhydrous bodies to th…
Cosmic-Ray Bath in a Past Supernova Gives Birth to Earth-Like Planets
Ryo Sawada, Hiroyuki Kurokawa, Yudai Suwa +3
A key question in astronomy is how ubiquitous Earth-like rocky planets are. The formation of terrestrial planets in our solar system was strongly influenced by the radioactive deca…
Impacts of Atmospheric Carbon Species and Stellar Type on Climates of Terrestrial Planets
Jared Landry, Hiroyuki Kurokawa, Tetsuo Taki +3
The climates of terrestrial planets are largely determined by the composition of their atmospheres and spectral types of their host stars. Previous studies suggest a wide range of…
