Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Number of Potentially Habitable Planets [PDF]
Universe, 2019 How good is our universe at making habitable planets? The answer to this depends on which factors are important for life: Does a planet need to be Earth mass? Does it need to be inside the temperate zone? are systems with hot Jupiters habitable? Here, we

Ultraviolet Photometry and Habitable Zones of over 2700 Planet-hosting Stars
The Astrophysical Journal Supplement SeriesThe ongoing discovery of exoplanets has sparked significant interest in finding suitable worlds that could potentially support life. Stellar ultraviolet (UV; 100–3000 Å) radiation may play a crucial role in determining the habitability of their planets ...

Exploring the Effects of Stellar Magnetism on the Potential Habitability of Exoplanets
The Astrophysical JournalConsiderable interest has centered on Earth-like planets orbiting in the circumstellar habitable zone (CHZ) of its star. However, the potential habitability of an exoplanet depends upon a number of additional factors, including the presence and strength ...

Carbon Cycle Instability for High-CO2 Exoplanets: Implications for Habitability
The Astrophysical JournalImplicit in the definition of the classical circumstellar habitable zone (HZ) is the hypothesis that the carbonate-silicate cycle can maintain clement climates on exoplanets with land and surface water across a range of instellations by adjusting ...

The ultraviolet habitable zone of exoplanets [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 The dozens of rocky exoplanets discovered in the Circumstellar Habitable Zone (CHZ) currently represent the most suitable places to host life as we know it outside the Solar System. However, the presumed presence of liquid water on the CHZ planets does

Tracing the inner edge of the habitable zone with sulfur chemistry. [PDF]
Sci AdvThe circumstellar liquid-water habitable zone guides our search for potentially inhabited exoplanets but remains observationally untested. We show that the inner edge of the habitable zone can now be mapped among exoplanets using their lack of surface ...

A Habitable-zone Earth-sized Planet Rescued from False Positive Status [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 We report the discovery of an Earth-sized planet in the habitable zone of a low-mass star called Kepler-1649. The planet, Kepler-1649 c, is 1.06 times the size of Earth and transits its 0.1977 ± 0.0051 “mid” M-dwarf host star every 19.5 days. It receives

X-Ray-luminous Supernovae: Threats to Terrestrial Biospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The spectacular outbursts of energy associated with supernovae (SNe) have long motivated research into their potentially hazardous effects on Earth and analogous environments.

Close stellar encounters kicking planets out of habitable zone in various stellar environments
, 2021 Continuous habitability of a planet is a critical condition for advanced forms of life to appear, but it can be endangered by astronomical events such as stellar encounters.
