AGU Advances, Volume 4, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023 Abstract Aqueous S[IV] species (HSO3− ${\mathrm{H}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{O}}_{3}^{-}$, SO32− ${\mathrm{S}\mathrm{O}}_{3}^{2-}$) derived from volcanogenic atmospheric SO2 are important to planetary habitability through their roles in proposed origins‐of‐life chemistry and influence on atmospheric sulfur haze formation, but the early cycling of S[IV] is ...

Physical constraints on the likelihood of life on exoplanets [PDF]
, 2017 One of the most fundamental questions in exoplanetology is to determine whether a given planet is habitable. We estimate the relative likelihood of a planet's propensity towards habitability by considering key physical characteristics such as the role of

Quantifying Catalysis at the Origin of Life**
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 29, Issue 53, September 21, 2023., 2023 Origin of life theories often invoke catalytic mechanisms, but catalysis of biologically relevant reactions in geologically plausible scenarios has been until recently experimentally elusive. In this perspective, we suggest that researchers move toward decreased catalyst loading, increased yields, as well as before/after characterization of metals or ...

Quantifying the Origins of Life on a Planetary Scale [PDF]
, 2015 A simple, heuristic formula with parallels to the Drake Equation is introduced to help focus discussion on open questions for the origins of life in a planetary context. This approach indicates a number of areas where quantitative progress can be made on

Evolution of Realistic Organic Mixtures for the Origins of Life through Wet–Dry Cycling
Sci, 2022 One of the challenges in understanding chemical evolution is the large number of starting organics and environments that were plausible on early Earth. Starting with realistic organic mixtures and using chemical analyses that are not biologically biased,
