Science from the In Situ Exploration of the Proxima Centauri System
T. Marshall Eubanks, Jean Schneider, Bruce Bills +11
In the future interstellar exploration at near-relativistic speeds will be possible using beamed energy laser propulsion. With this, spacecraft as small as gm mass picospacecraft b…
Upper atmosphere dynamics and drivers of volatiles loss from terrestrial-type (exo)planets
Daria Kubyshkina, Michael J. Way, Iannis Dandouras +7
Volatile loss from exoplanetary atmospheres and its possible implications for the longevity of habitable surface conditions is a topic of vigorous debate currently. The vast majori…
Water versus land on temperate rocky planets
Claire Marie Guimond, Tilman Spohn, Svetlana Berdyugina +6
Water and land surfaces on a planet interact with gases in the atmosphere and with radiation from the star. These interactions define the environments that prevail on the planet, s…
The Impact of Supermassive Black Holes on Exoplanet Habitability. I. Spanning the Natural Mass Range
Jourdan Waas, Eric S. Perlman, Manasvi Lingam +5
While the influence of supermassive black hole (SMBH) activity on habitability has garnered attention, the specific effects of active galactic nucleus (AGN) winds, particularly ult…
The Physics of Life: Exploring Information as a Distinctive Feature of Living Systems
Stuart Bartlett, Andrew W. Eckford, Matthew Egbert +4
This paper explores the idea that information is an essential and distinctive feature of living systems. Unlike non-living systems, living systems actively acquire, process, and us…
Potential for life to exist and be detected on Earth-like planets orbiting white dwarfs
Caldon T. Whyte, L. H. Quiroga-Nuñez, Manasvi Lingam +1
With recent observations confirming exoplanets orbiting white dwarfs, there is growing interest in exploring and quantifying the habitability of temperate rocky planets around whit…
