Starting Life and Searching for Life on Rocky Planets
Paul B Rimmer, Sukrit Ranjan, Sarah Rugheimer
The study of origins of life on Earth and the search for life on other planets are closely linked. Prebiotic chemical scenarios can help prioritize planets as targets for the searc…
The Mega-MUSCLES Spectral Energy Distribution Of TRAPPIST-1
David J. Wilson, Cynthia S. Froning, Girish M. Duvvuri +19
We present a 5A-100um Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of the ultracool dwarf star TRAPPIST-1, obtained as part of the Mega-MUSCLES Treasury Survey. The SED combines ultraviolet…
Reconstructing the Extreme Ultraviolet Emission of Cool Dwarfs Using Differential Emission Measure Polynomials
Girish M. Duvvuri, J. Sebastian Pineda, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson +16
Characterizing the atmospheres of planets orbiting M dwarfs requires understanding the spectral energy distributions of M dwarfs over planetary lifetimes. Surveys like MUSCLES, HAZ…
Characterizing Atmospheres of Transiting Earth-like Exoplanets Orbiting M Dwarfs with James Webb Space Telescope
Megan T. Gialluca, Tyler D. Robinson, Sarah Rugheimer +1
A number of transiting, potentially habitable Earth-sized exoplanets have recently been detected around several nearby M dwarf stars. These worlds represent important targets for a…
Finding Signs of Life on Earth-like Planets: High-resolution Transmission Spectra of Earth through time around FGKM stars
L. Kaltenegger, Z. Lin, S. Rugheimer
The search for life in the universe mainly uses modern Earth as a template. However, we know that Earth's atmospheric composition changed significantly through its geological evolu…
Estimating the Ultraviolet Emission of M dwarfs with Exoplanets from Ca II and H
Katherine Melbourne, Allison Youngblood, Kevin France +29
M dwarf stars are excellent candidates around which to search for exoplanets, including temperate, Earth-sized planets. To evaluate the photochemistry of the planetary atmosphere,…
