Fully fluorinated non-carbon compounds NF3 and SF6 as ideal technosignature gases
Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Jingcheng Huang +3
Waste gas products from technological civilizations may accumulate in an exoplanet atmosphere to detectable levels. We propose nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur hexafluoride (S…
Stability of nucleic acid bases in concentrated sulfuric acid: Implications for the habitability of Venus' clouds
Sara Seager, Janusz J. Petkowski, Maxwell D. Seager +10
What constitutes a habitable planet is a frontier to be explored and requires pushing the boundaries of our terracentric viewpoint for what we deem to be a habitable environment. D…
Venus' Atmospheric Chemistry and Cloud Characteristics Are Compatible with Venusian Life
William Bains, Janusz J. Petkowski, Sara Seager
Venus is Earth's sister planet, with similar mass and density but an uninhabitably hot surface, an atmosphere with a water activity 50-100 times lower than anywhere on Earths' surf…
Large Uncertainties in the Thermodynamics of Phosphorus (III) Oxide (PO) Have Significant Implications for Phosphorus Species in Planetary Atmospheres
William Bains, Matthew A. Pasek, Sukrit Ranjan +3
Phosphorus (III) oxide (PO) has been suggested to be a major component of the gas phase phosphorus chemistry in the atmospheres of gas giant planets and of Venus. However,…
