Is Extraterrestrial Life Suppressed on Subsurface Ocean Worlds due to the Paucity of Bioessential Elements? [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2018
The availability of bioessential elements for “life as we know it”, such as phosphorus (P) or possibly molybdenum (Mo), is expected to restrict the biological productivity of extraterrestrial biospheres.

Detection of Microorganisms in Low-Temperature Water Environments by in situ Generation of Biogenic Nanoparticles

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2020
A new nanobiotechnological approach for the detection of extraterrestrial Earth-like biological forms is proposed. The approach is based on the ability of microbial cells to reduce artificially added cations with the generation of crystalline ...

Microlensing and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1999
Are microlensing searches likely to discover planets that harbor life? Given our present state of knowledge, this is a difficult question to answer. We therefore begin by asking a more narrowly focused question: are conditions on planets discovered via microlensing likely to be similar to those we experience on Earth?

Implications of Captured Interstellar Objects for Panspermia and Extraterrestrial Life [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Journal, 2018
We estimate the capture rate of interstellar objects by means of three-body gravitational interactions. We apply this model to the Sun–Jupiter system and the Alpha Centauri A&B binary system, and find that the radius of the largest captured object is a ...

The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis: A Case for Scientific Openness to an Interstellar Explanation for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena [PDF]

open access: yesФилософия и космология
Over the past several years the question of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) has commanded increasing interest. Attention has generally focused on two main classes of hypotheses: a conventional terrestrial explanation (e.g., human technology), and ...

Signal coverage approach to the detection probability of hypothetical extraterrestrial emitters in the Milky Way

open access: yes, 2017
The lack of evidence for the existence of extraterrestrial life, even the simplest forms of animal life, makes it is difficult to decide whether the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is more a high-risk, high-payoff endeavor than a futile ...
