Theoretical Spectra of Terrestrial Exoplanet Surfaces [PDF]
, 2012 We investigate spectra of airless rocky exoplanets with a theoretical framework that self-consistently treats reflection and thermal emission. We find that a silicate surface on an exoplanet is spectroscopically detectable via prominent Si-O features in ...

Tools for Learning—Promoting Reflection for Student Teachers' Development of PCK
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates how the coherent integration of three different tools for reflection during a science methods course can contribute to student teachers' planning and enactment of science teaching, that is, their development of pedagogical content knowledge (PCK).

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary One‐carbon (C1) metabolism, centered on the universal methyl donor S‐adenosyl methionine (SAM), plays critical roles in biosynthesis, redox regulation, and stress responses across plants and microbes. A recently proposed photosynthetic C1 pathway links SAM methyl groups directly to RuBisCO‐mediated CO2 assimilation and integrates with nitrogen ...

Biosignatures Search in Habitable Planets
Galaxies, 2019 The search for life has had a new enthusiastic restart in the last two decades thanks to the large number of new worlds discovered. The about 4100 exoplanets found so far, show a large diversity of planets, from hot giants to rocky planets orbiting small

Exoplanet Predictions Based on Harmonic Orbit Resonances
, 2017 The current exoplanet database includes 5454 confirmed planets and candidate planets observed with the KEPLER mission. We find 932 planet pairs from which we extract distance and orbital period ratios.

A short-period censor of sub-Jupiter mass exoplanets with low density [PDF]
, 2010 Despite the existence of many short-period hot Jupiters, there is not one hot Neptune with an orbital period less than 2.5 days. Here we discuss a cluster analysis of the currently known 106 transiting exoplanets to investigate a possible explanation for

Classifying Exoplanets with a Gaussian Mixture Model
The Open Journal of Astrophysics, 2018 Recently, Odrzywolek and Rafelski have found three distinct categories of exoplanets, when they are classified based on density. We first carry out a similar classification of exoplanets according to their density using the Gaussian Mixture Model ...

Space Weather, 2022 The present study aims at characterizing the habitability conditions of exoplanets with an Earth‐like magnetosphere inside the habitable zone of M and F stars, caused by the direct deposition of the stellar wind on the exoplanet surface.

The Ability of Significant Tidal Stress to Initiate Plate Tectonics [PDF]
, 2019 Plate tectonics is a geophysical process currently unique to Earth, has an important role in regulating the Earth's climate, and may be better understood by identifying rocky planets outside our solar system with tectonic activity.
