Atmospheric Seasonality as an Exoplanet Biosignature
Stephanie L. Olson, Edward W. Schwieterman, Christopher T. Reinhard +4
Current investigations of exoplanet biosignatures have focused on static evidence of life, such as the presence of biogenic gases like O2 or CH4. However, the expected diversity of…
Earth: Atmospheric Evolution of a Habitable Planet
Stephanie L. Olson, Edward W. Schwieterman, Christopher T. Reinhard +1
Our present-day atmosphere is often used as an analog for potentially habitable exoplanets, but Earth's atmosphere has changed dramatically throughout its 4.5 billion year history.…
Disequilibrium biosignatures over Earth history and implications for detecting exoplanet life
Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Stephanie Olson, David C. Catling
Chemical disequilibrium in planetary atmospheres has been proposed as a generalized method for detecting life on exoplanets through remote spectroscopy. Among solar system planets…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Nancy Y. Kiang, Niki Parenteau +38
For the first time in human history, we will soon be able to apply the scientific method to the question "Are We Alone?" The rapid advance of exoplanet discovery, planetary systems…
The Importance of UV Capabilities for Identifying Inhabited Exoplanets with Next Generation Space Telescopes
Edward Schwieterman, Christopher Reinhard, Stephanie Olson +1
The strongest remotely detectable signature of life on our planet today is the photosynthetically produced oxygen (O2) in our atmosphere. However, recent studies of Earth's geochem…
