Biological, Equilibrium and Photochemical Signatures of C, N and S Isotopes in the Early Earth and Exoplanet Atmospheres [PDF]
LifeThe unambiguous detection of biosignatures in exoplanet atmospheres is a primary objective for astrobiologists and exoplanet astronomers. The primary methodology is the observation of combinations of gases considered unlikely to coexist in an atmosphere ...

VaTEST. II. Statistical Validation of 11 TESS-detected Exoplanets Orbiting K-type Stars
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is an all-sky survey mission designed to find transiting exoplanets orbiting nearby bright stars. It has identified more than 329 transiting exoplanets, and almost 6000 candidates remain unvalidated. In

Possibilities for an Aerial Biosphere in Temperate Sub Neptune-Sized Exoplanet Atmospheres
Universe, 2021 The search for signs of life through the detection of exoplanet atmosphere biosignature gases is gaining momentum. Yet, only a handful of rocky exoplanet atmospheres are suitable for observation with planned next-generation telescopes.
