Astrobiology in Space: A Comprehensive Look at the Solar System
Life, 2023 The field of astrobiology aims to understand the origin of life on Earth and searches for evidence of life beyond our planet. Although there is agreement on some of the requirements for life on Earth, the exact process by which life emerged from ...

SPECTROModule: A modular in-situ spectroscopy platform for exobiology and space sciences
Acta Astronautica, 2020 The evolution of the solar system and the origin of life remain some of the most intriguing questions for humankind. Addressing these questions experimentally is challenging due to the difficulty of mimicking environmental conditions representative for ...

ABOUT EXOBIOLOGY: THE CASE FOR DWARF K STARS [PDF]
, 2016 One of the most fundamental topics of exobiology concerns the identification of stars with environments consistent with life. Although it is believed that most types of main-sequence stars might be able to support life, particularly extremophiles ...

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 In the search for life on other planets, the presence of photosynthetic surface vegetation may be detectable from the colors of light it reflects. On the modern Earth, this spectral reflectance is characterized by a steep increase in reflectance between ...

Adaptations of endolithic communities to abrupt environmental changes in a hyper-arid desert
Scientific Reports, 2022 The adaptation mechanisms of microbial communities to natural perturbations remain unexplored, particularly in extreme environments. The extremophilic communities of halite (NaCl) nodules from the hyper-arid core of the Atacama Desert are self-sustained ...

Présentation. Exobiologie, aspects historiques et épistémologiques
Cahiers François Viète, 2003 The definition of exobiology – the study of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the universe, as well as of related structures and processes – raises the problem of the link between current and past studies on the origins of terrestrial ...
