Assessing the Climate and Habitability of Tidally Locked Rocky Exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Jost von Hardenberg +5
Tidally locked exoplanets orbiting M dwarf stars are prime targets in the search for habitable worlds, yet their complex climate dynamics challenge conventional models of habitabil…
Interaction between vegetation and Snowball phases in the late Proterozoic Earth
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +3
Between 2.4 and 0.6 Gy ago, our planet underwent several episodes of global glaciations, including the Snowball Earth case that ended 635 My ago. Causes of this last Snowball event…
Impact of vegetation albedo on the habitability of Earth-like exoplanets
Erica Bisesi, Giuseppe Murante, Antonello Provenzale +8
Vegetation can modify the planetary surface albedo via the Charney mechanism, as plants are usually darker than the bare surface of the continents. We updated ESTM (Earth-like Surf…
Seasonal thaws under mid-to-low pressure atmospheres on Early Mars
Paolo Simonetti, Giovanni Vladilo, Stavro L. Ivanovski +6
Despite decades of scientific research on the subject, the climate of the first 1.5 Gyr of Mars history has not been fully understood yet. Especially challenging is the need to rec…
EOS: Atmospheric Radiative Transfer in Habitable Worlds with HELIOS
Paolo Simonetti, Giovanni Vladilo, Laura Silva +5
We present EOS, a procedure for determining the Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) and top-of-atmosphere (TOA) albedo for a wide range of conditions expected to be present in the at…
Statistical properties of habitable zones in stellar binary systems
Paolo Simonetti, Giovanni Vladilo, Laura Silva +1
Observations of exoplanets and protoplanetary disks show that binary stellar systems can host planets in stable orbits. Given the high binary fraction among stars, the contribution…
Climate bistability of Earth-like exoplanets
Murante G., Provenzale A., Vladilo G. +8
Before about 500 million years ago, most probably our planet experienced temporary snowball conditions, with continental and sea ices covering a large fraction of its surface. This…
Quantitative estimates of the surface habitability of Kepler-452b
Laura Silva, Giovanni Vladilo, Giuseppe Murante +1
Kepler-452b is currently the best example of an Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of a sun-like star, a type of planet whose number of detections is expected to increase in t…
From climate models to planetary habitability: temperature constraints for complex life
Laura Silva, Giovanni Vladilo, Patricia M. Schulte +2
In an effort to derive temperature based criteria of habitability for multicellular life, we investigated the thermal limits of terrestrial poikilotherms, i.e. organisms whose body…
Modeling the surface temperature of Earth-like planets
G. Vladilo, L. Silva, G. Murante +2
We introduce a novel Earth-like planet surface temperature model (ESTM) for habitability studies based on the spatial-temporal distribution of planetary surface temperatures. The E…
The habitable zone of Earth-like planets with different levels of atmospheric pressure
Giovanni Vladilo, Giuseppe Murante, Laura Silva +3
As a contribution to the study of the habitability of extrasolar planets, we implemented a 1-D Energy Balance Model (EBM), the simplest seasonal model of planetary climate, with ne…
