Biosignatures in atmosfere di super Terre attorno a stelle M [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
L'elaborato si occupa dell'analisi delle potenziali biosignatures riscontrabili in atmosfere di super Terre attorno a stelle di tipo spettrale M: è quindi stata condotta un'indagine sulle atmosfere che potrebbero ospitare forme di vita e sui metodi ...

HOW VENUS BECAME COOL: SOCIAL AND MORAL DIMENSIONS OF BIOSIGNATURE SCIENCE

open access: yesZygon, 2021
A 2020 scientific report indicated the presence of phosphine, a potential biosignature chemical, in the atmosphere of Venus. As a result, Venus instantly became a global cultural celebrity.

Ammonia and Phosphine in the Clouds of Venus as Potentially Biological Anomalies

open access: yesAerospace, 2022
We are of the opinion that several anomalies in the atmosphere of Venus provide evidence of yet-unknown processes and systems that are out of equilibrium.

False Biosignatures on Mars: Anticipating Ambiguity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
It is often acknowledged that the search for life on Mars might produce false positive results, particularly via detections of objects, patterns or substances that resemble the products of life in some way but are not biogenic.

A Statistical Approach to Illustrate the Challenge of Astrobiology for Public Outreach

open access: yesLife, 2017
In this study, we attempt to illustrate the competition that constitutes the main challenge of astrobiology, namely the competition between the probability of extraterrestrial life and its detectability.

Degradation of microbial fluorescence biosignatures by solar ultraviolet radiation on Mars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recent and proposed robotic missions to Mars are equipped with implements to expose or excavate fresh material from beneath the immediate surface. Once brought into the open, any organic molecules or potential biosignatures of present or past life will ...

A Spectral Comparison of Jarosites Using Techniques Relevant to the Robotic Exploration of Biosignatures on Mars

open access: yesLife, 2018
The acidic sulfate-rich waters of the Meridiani Planum region were potentially a habitable environment for iron-oxidizing bacteria on ancient Mars. If life existed in this ancient martian environment, jarosite minerals precipitating in these waters may ...

Identifying Molecules as Biosignatures with Assembly Theory and Mass Spectrometry

open access: yes, 2020
The search for evidence of life elsewhere in the universe is hard because it is not obvious what signatures are unique to life. Here we postulate that complex molecules found in high abundance are universal biosignatures as they cannot form by chance. To

Surface and Temporal Biosignatures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Recent discoveries of potentially habitable exoplanets have ignited the prospect of spectroscopic investigations of exoplanet surfaces and atmospheres for signs of life.
