Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Fraction of Life That Develops Intelligence
Universe, 2019 Do mass extinctions affect the development of intelligence? If so, we may expect to be in a universe that is exceptionally placid. We consider the effects of impacts, supervolcanoes, global glaciations, and nearby gamma ray bursts, and how their rates ...

The habitability of Proxima Centauri b II. Possible climates and Observability [PDF]
, 2016 Radial velocity monitoring has found the signature of a $M \sin i = 1.3$~M$_\oplus$ planet located within the Habitable Zone (HZ) of Proxima Centauri \citep{Anglada16}.

Fluorine-Rich Planetary Environments as Possible Habitats for Life
Life, 2014 In polar aprotic organic solvents, fluorine might be an element of choice for life that uses selected fluorinated building blocks as monomers of choice for self-assembling of its catalytic polymers.

CD-HPF: New Habitability Score Via Data Analytic Modeling
, 2016 The search for life on the planets outside the Solar System can be broadly classified into the following: looking for Earth-like conditions or the planets similar to the Earth (Earth similarity), and looking for the possibility of life in a form known or

Flaring Activity of Proxima Centauri from TESS Observations: Quasiperiodic Oscillations during Flare Decay and Inferences on the Habitability of Proxima b [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 We analyze the light curve of the M5.5 dwarf Proxima Centauri obtained by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) in Sectors 11 and 12. In the ≈50 day long light curve we identified and analyzed 72 flare events.

The Habitability of our Evolving Galaxy
, 2018 The notion of a Galactic Habitable Zone (GHZ), or regions of the Milky Way galaxy that preferentially maintain the conditions to sustain complex life, has recently gained attention due to the detection of numerous exoplanets and advances made in ...

Exploring the Cosmic Evolution of Habitability with Galaxy Merger Trees [PDF]
, 2017 We combine inferred galaxy properties from a semi-analytic galaxy evolution model incorporating dark matter halo merger trees with new estimates of supernova and gamma ray burst rates as a function of metallicity from stellar population synthesis models ...
