The Goldilocks problem for detecting water in terrestrial planets: Constraining water abundances in the mid-IR with LIFE
Sarah Rugheimer, Eleonora Alei, Björn S. Konrad +7
We investigate how well the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets (LIFE) mission concept can detect habitable conditions on exoplanets through the presence of atmospheric water vapor…
