Future space experiment platforms for astrobiology and astrochemistry research [PDF]

npj Microgravity, 2023
Space experiments are a technically challenging but a scientifically important part of astrobiology and astrochemistry research. The International Space Station (ISS) is an excellent example of a highly successful and long-lasting research platform for ...

Viruses in astrobiology

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Viruses are the most abundant biological entities on Earth, and yet, they have not received enough consideration in astrobiology. Viruses are also extraordinarily diverse, which is evident in the types of relationships they establish with their host ...

The Atacama Rover Astrobiology Drilling Studies (ARADS) Project. [PDF]

Astrobiology, 2023
With advances in commercial space launch capabilities and reduced costs to orbit, humans may arrive on Mars within a decade. Both to preserve any signs of past (and extant) martian life and to protect the health of human crews (and Earth's biosphere), it

Widening Perspectives: The Intellectual and Social Benefits of Astrobiology, Big History, and the Exploration of Space [PDF]

Journal of Big History, 2019
Astrobiology is the field of science devoted to searching for life elsewhere in the Universe. It is inherently interdisciplinary, integrating results from multiple fields of science, and in this respect has strong synergies with ‘big history’.

Habitability of galaxies and the application of merger trees in astrobiology [PDF]

Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2019
Galaxies represent the main form of organization of matter in our universe. Therefore, they are of obvious interest for the new multidisciplinary field of astrobiology.

Astrobiological Complexity with Probabilistic Cellular Automata [PDF]

Orig. Life Evol. Biosph. 42 (2012) 347-371, 2012
Search for extraterrestrial life and intelligence constitutes one of the major endeavors in science, but has yet been quantitatively modeled only rarely and in a cursory and superficial fashion. We argue that probabilistic cellular automata (PCA) represent the best quantitative framework for modeling astrobiological history of the Milky Way and its ...

Exoplanets – search methods, discoveries, and prospects for astrobiology [PDF]

, 2008
Whereas the Solar System has Mars and Europa as the best candidates for finding fossil/extant life as we know it - based on complex carbon compounds and liquid water - the 263 (non-pulsar) planetary systems around other stars as known at 15 September ...

The archaeal class Halobacteria and astrobiology: Knowledge gaps and research opportunities

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Water bodies on Mars and the icy moons of the outer solar system are now recognized as likely being associated with high levels of salt. Therefore, the study of high salinity environments and their inhabitants has become increasingly relevant for ...

The minimum energy required to build a cell [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Understanding the energy requirements for cell synthesis accurately and comprehensively has been a longstanding challenge. We introduce a computational model that estimates the minimum energy necessary to build any cell from its constituent parts.

A New Level 3 Biosafety and Astrobiology Laboratory in Pieve a Nievole (PT) [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
We report our proposal for the establishment of a biocontainment and astrobiology laboratory in a strategic area of Pieve a Nievole (PT) at 28 mt above sea level - to face the lack of biological and astrobiological research centers and all the social, economic and cultural consequences that this project implicate.
