Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Origin of Life Scenarios

open access: yesUniverse, 2023
If the origin of life is rare and sensitive to the local conditions at the site of its emergence, then, using the principle of mediocrity within a multiverse framework, we may expect to find ourselves in a universe that is better than usual at creating ...

Evaluating the Microbial Habitability of Rogue Planets and Proposing Speculative Scenarios on How They Might Act as Vectors for Panspermia

open access: yesLife, 2021
There are two types of rogue planets, sub-brown dwarfs and “rocky” rogue planets. Sub-brown dwarfs are unlikely to be habitable or even host life, but rocky rogue planets may have a liquid ocean under a thick atmosphere or an ice layer.

Snow Surface Microbial Diversity at the Detection Limit within the Vicinity of the Concordia Station, Antarctica

open access: yesLife, 2022
The Concordia Research Station provides a unique location for preparatory activities for future human journey to Mars, to explore microbial diversity at subzero temperatures, and monitor the dissemination of human-associated microorganisms within the ...

Habitable Zone Lifetime of Exoplanets around Main Sequence Stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Funding: Dean's Scholarship at the University of East Anglia.The potential habitability of newly discovered exoplanets is initially assessed by determining whether their orbits fall within the circumstellar habitable zone of their star.

Habits of practice, habits of thought [PDF]

open access: yesJournalism, 2018
The years since the launch of this journal in 2000 have been as bountiful for scholars of journalism as they have been painful for practitioners scrambling to keep up with the dizzying pace of change. Our observations and explorations over time suggest that journalistic activities – what we might call ‘habits of practice’ – seem to be changing far more

Revisiting habitability in conversational systems

open access: yes, 2021
Conversational systems are inherently disadvantaged when indicating either what capabilities they have or the state they are in. The notion of habitability, the appropriate balancing in design between the language people use and the language a system can

Habitability and Water Loss Limits on Eccentric Planets Orbiting Main-sequence Stars

open access: yes, 2020
A planet's climate can be strongly affected by its orbital eccentricity and obliquity. Here we use a one-dimensional energy balance model modified to include a simple runaway greenhouse (RGH) parameterization to explore the effects of these two ...

Habitability of planets in star clusters via interstellar lithopanspermia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
openWe calculate the probability that a life-bearing planetary system in a young star cluster enriches another planetary system in the same cluster. This form of lithopanspermia has so far received little attention.
