The Effect of Land Albedo on the Climate of Land-Dominated Planets in the TRAPPIST-1 System

Andrew J. Rushby, Aomawa L. Shields, Eric T. Wolf +2

Variations in the reflective properties of the bulk material that comprises the surface of land-dominated planets will affect the planetary energy balance by interacting differentl…

The Effect of Land Fraction and Host Star Spectral Energy Distribution on the Planetary Albedo of Terrestrial Worlds

Andrew J. Rushby, Aomawa L. Shields, Manoj Joshi

The energy balance and climate of planets can be affected by the reflective properties of their land, ocean, and frozen surfaces. Here we investigate the effect of host star spectr…

Habitable zone predictions and how to test them

Ramses M. Ramirez, Dorian S. Abbot, Yuka Fujii +11

The habitable zone (HZ) is the region around a star(s) where standing bodies of water could exist on the surface of a rocky planet. The classical HZ definition makes a number of as…

Long Term Planetary Habitability and the Carbonate-Silicate Cycle

Andrew J. Rushby, Martin Johnson, Benjamin J. W. Mills +2

The potential habitability of an exoplanet is traditionally assessed by determining if its orbit falls within the circumstellar `habitable zone' of its star, defined as the distanc…

Highly Volcanic Exoplanets, Lava Worlds, and Magma Ocean Worlds: An Emerging Class of Dynamic Exoplanets of Significant Scientific Priority

Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Prabal Saxena +39

Highly volcanic exoplanets, which can be variously characterized as 'lava worlds', 'magma ocean worlds', or 'super-Ios' are high priority targets for investigation. The term 'lava…

Exoplanet Science Priorities from the Perspective of Internal and Surface Processes for Silicate and Ice Dominated Worlds

Wade G. Henning, Joseph P. Renaud, Avi M. Mandell +35

The geophysics of extrasolar planets is a scientific topic often regarded as standing largely beyond the reach of near-term observations. This reality in no way diminishes the cent…
