Open Astronomy, 2020 Among different models for determining the habitable zone (HZ) around a star, a Latitudinal Energy Balance Model (LEBM) is very beneficial due to its parametricity which keeps a good balance between complexity and simulation time.

Atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets in the mid-infrared: biosignatures, habitability, and diversity [PDF]
Experimental astronomy (Print), 2019 Exoplanet science is one of the most thriving fields of modern astrophysics. A major goal is the atmospheric characterization of dozens of small, terrestrial exoplanets in order to search for signatures in their atmospheres that indicate biological ...

Exomoon Habitability and Tidal Evolution in Low-Mass Star Systems
, 2017 Discoveries of extrasolar planets in the habitable zone (HZ) of their parent star lead to questions about the habitability of massive moons orbiting planets in the HZ. Around low-mass stars, the HZ is much closer to the star than for Sun-like stars.

Impact of Stellar Superflares on Planetary Habitability [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 High-energy radiation caused by exoplanetary space weather events from planet-hosting stars can play a crucial role in conditions promoting or destroying habitability in addition to the conventional factors.

Nature, 1921 IN NATURE of May 19 last (pp. 375–76) you were good enough to notice at length my paper on “The Ancient Legend as to the Hedgehog carrying Fruit upon its Spines,“ published by the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society (Memoirs, vol. 63, No. 2). That paper was written with a view to elicit further evidence for or against the truth of the legend,

Habitability of extrasolar planets and tidal spin evolution
, 2011 Stellar radiation has conservatively been used as the key constraint to planetary habitability. We review here the effects of tides, exerted by the host star on the planet, on the evolution of the planetary spin. Tides initially drive the rotation period

Pale Orange Dots: The Impact of Organic Haze on the Habitability and Detectability of Earthlike Exoplanets [PDF]
, 2016 Hazes are common in known planetary atmospheres, and geochemical evidence suggests that early Earth occasionally supported an organic haze with significant environmental and spectral consequences.

Habitability of Earth-like Stagnant Lid Planets: Climate Evolution and Recovery from Snowball States [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Coupled models of mantle thermal evolution, volcanism, outgassing, weathering, and climate evolution for Earth-like (in terms of size and composition) stagnant lid planets are used to assess their prospects for habitability.
