No Snowball on Habitable Tidally Locked Planets with a Dynamic Ocean

Jade H. Checlair, Stephanie L. Olson, Malte F. Jansen +1

Terrestrial planets orbiting within the habitable zones of M-stars are likely to become tidally locked in a 1:1 spin:orbit configuration and are prime targets for future characteri…

Oceanographic Considerations for Exoplanet Life Detection

Stephanie L. Olson, Malte Jansen, Dorian S. Abbot

Liquid water oceans are at the center of our search for life on exoplanets because water is a strict requirement for life as we know it. However, oceans are dynamic habitats---and…

Robustness of Gaian Feedbacks to Climate Perturbations

Olivia D. N. Alcabes, Stephanie Olson, Dorian S. Abbot

The Gaia hypothesis postulates that life regulates its environment to be favorable for its own survival. Most planets experience numerous perturbations throughout their lifetimes s…

Rethinking CO Antibiosignatures in the Search for Life Beyond the Solar System

Edward W. Schwieterman, Christopher T. Reinhard, Stephanie L. Olson +4

Some atmospheric gases have been proposed as counter indicators to the presence of life on an exoplanet if remotely detectable at sufficient abundance (i.e., antibiosignatures), in…

The remote detectability of Earth's biosphere through time and the importance of UV capability for characterizing habitable exoplanets

Christopher T. Reinhard, Edward W. Schwieterman, Stephanie L. Olson +10

Thousands of planets beyond our solar system have been discovered to date, dozens of which are rocky in composition and are orbiting within the circumstellar habitable zone of thei…

A Statistical Comparative Planetology Approach to Maximize the Scientific Return of Future Exoplanet Characterization Efforts

Jade H. Checlair, Dorian S. Abbot, Robert J. Webber +37

Provided that sufficient resources are deployed, we can look forward to an extraordinary future in which we will characterize potentially habitable planets. Until now, we have had…
