On the Habitability of Aquaplanets [PDF]
Challenges, 2014 An Aquatic Habitability Index is proposed, based on Quantitative Habitability Theory, and considering a very general model for life. It is a primary habitability index, measuring habitability for phytoplankton in the first place.

, 2007 According to the standard liquid-water definition, the Earth is only partially habitable. We reconsider planetary habitability in the framework of energy-balance models, the simplest seasonal models in physical climatology, to assess the spatial and temporal habitability of Earth-like planets.

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Stellar and Atmospheric Habitability
Universe, 2022 Stellar activity and planetary atmospheric properties have the potential to strongly influence habitability. To date, neither have been adequately studied in the multiverse context, so there has been no assessment of how these effects impact the ...

Hard rock dark biosphere and habitability
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 The discovery that most of the prokaryotic diversity and biomass on Earth resides in the deep subsurface, calls for an improved definition of habitability, which should consider the existence of dark biospheres in other planets and moons of the Solar ...

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Planetary Characteristics
Universe, 2022 Recent detections of potentially habitable exoplanets around sunlike stars demand increased exploration of the physical conditions that can sustain life, by whatever methods available.

Terminator Habitability: The Case for Limited Water Availability on M-dwarf Planets
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Rocky planets orbiting M-dwarf stars are among the most promising and abundant astronomical targets for detecting habitable climates. Planets in the M-dwarf habitable zone are likely synchronously rotating, such that we expect significant day–night ...

The ETNA mission concept: Assessing the habitability of an active ocean world
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022 Enceladus is an icy world with potentially habitable conditions, as suggested by the coincident presence of a subsurface ocean, an active energy source due to water-rock interactions, and the basic chemical ingredients necessary for terrestrial life ...

The Abundance of Belatedly Habitable Planets and Ambiguities in Definitions of the Continuously Habitable Zone [PDF]
, 2023 A planet's history dictates its current potential to host habitable conditions and life. The concept of the Continuously Habitable Zone (CHZ) has been used to define the region around a star most likely to host planets with long-term habitability. However, definitions of the CHZ vary in the literature and often conflict with each other. Calculating the

A revised lower estimate of ozone columns during Earth’s oxygenated history
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The history of molecular oxygen (O2) in Earth’s atmosphere is still debated; however, geological evidence supports at least two major episodes where O2 increased by an order of magnitude or more: the Great Oxidation Event (GOE) and the Neoproterozoic ...
