Demarcating circulation regimes of synchronously rotating terrestrial planets within the habitable zone
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Eric. T. Wolf, Manoj Joshi +2
We investigate the atmospheric dynamics of terrestrial planets in synchronous rotation within the habitable zone of low-mass stars using the Community Atmosphere Model (CAM). The s…
The Drake Equation as a Function of Spectral Type and Time
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Ravi Kumar Kopparapu
This chapter draws upon astronomical observations and modeling to constrain the prevalence of communicative civilizations in the galaxy. We discuss the dependence of the Drake equa…
Why do we find ourselves around a yellow star instead of a red star?
Jacob Haqq-Misra, Ravi Kumar Kopparpu, Eric T. Wolf
M-dwarf stars are more abundant than G-dwarf stars, so our position as observers on a planet orbiting a G-dwarf raises questions about the suitability of other stellar types for su…
Habitable Moist Atmospheres On Terrestrial Planets Near the Inner Edge Of the Habitable Zone Around M-dwarfs
Ravi kumar Kopparapu, Eric T. Wolf, Giada Arney +4
Terrestrial planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of low-mass stars and cool dwarfs have received significant scrutiny recently because their shorter orbital periods increase their…
Constraints on Climate and Habitability for Earth-like Exoplanets Determined from a General Circulation Model
Eric T. Wolf, Aomawa L. Shields, Ravi K. Kopparapu +2
Conventional definitions of habitability require abundant liquid surface water to exist continuously over geologic timescales. Water in each of its thermodynamic phases interacts w…
