The Peak Absorbance Wavelength of Photosynthetic Pigments Around Other Stars From Spectral Optimization

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Efficient metal emissions in the upper atmospheres of close-in exoplanets

open access: yesEarth and Planetary Physics, 2018
Atmospheric escape is a key process controlling the long term evolution of planets. Radiative cooling competes for energy against atmospheric escape in planetary upper atmospheres.

Oxygen False Positives on Habitable Zone Planets Around Sun‐Like Stars

open access: yesAGU Advances, 2021
Oxygen is a promising exoplanet biosignature due to the evolutionary advantage conferred by harnessing starlight for photosynthesis, and the apparent low likelihood of maintaining oxygen‐rich atmospheres without life.

The Coming Emptiness: On the Meaning of the Emptiness of the Universe in Natural Philosophy

open access: yesPhilosophies, 2018
The cosmological relevance of emptiness—that is, space without bodies—is not yet sufficiently appreciated in natural philosophy. This paper addresses two aspects of cosmic emptiness from the perspective of natural philosophy: the distances to
