The Habitability of Venus

open access: yesSpace Science Reviews, 2023
AbstractVenus today is inhospitable at the surface, its average temperature of 750 K being incompatible to the existence of life as we know it. However, the potential for past surface habitability and upper atmosphere (cloud) habitability at the present day is hotly debated, as the ongoing discussion regarding a possible phosphine signature coming from

Habitable Zones in Binary Star Systems: A Zoology [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
Several concepts have been brought forward to determine where terrestrial planets are likely to remain habitable in multi-stellar environments. Isophote-based habitable zones, for instance, rely on insolation geometry to predict habitability, whereas radiative habitable zones take the orbital motion of a potentially habitable planet into account ...

The untapped potential of camera traps for farmland biodiversity monitoring: current practice and outstanding agroecological questions

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Through a systematic literature review, we show that camera traps (CTs) have been underutilised for farmland biodiversity monitoring. The few existing farmland‐based CT studies focused on local‐level management issues, such as disease transmission between wildlife and livestock, crop damage and use of artificial feeders and water troughs by wildlife ...

Evaluating the effect of four unknown parameters included in a latitudinal energy balance model on the habitability of exoplanets

open access: yesOpen 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.

Binary Gravitational Perturbations and Their Influence on the Habitability of Circumstellar Planets

open access: yesFrontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021
In order to assess the habitability of planets in binary star systems, not only astrophysical considerations regarding stellar and atmospheric conditions are needed, but orbital dynamics and the architecture of the system also play an important role. Due

Habitable Zones in the Universe [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Habitability varies dramatically with location and time in the universe. This was recognized centuries ago, but it was only in the last few decades that astronomers began to systematize the study of habitability. The introduction of the concept of the habitable zone was key to progress in this area.

Probability Distribution of Terrestrial Planets in Habitable Zones around Host Stars [PDF]

open access: yesPublished on Ap&SS, Oct. 2009, 2010
With more and more exoplanets being detected, it is paid closer attention to whether there are lives outside solar system. We try to obtain habitable zones and the probability distribution of terrestrial planets in habitable zones around host stars. Using Eggleton's code, we calculate the evolution of stars with masses less than 4.00 \mo.

Epistemic Justice as a “New Normal?” Interrogating the Contributions of Communities of Practice to Decolonization of Knowledge

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recently, scholarly communities of practice have emerged with the objective of decolonizing knowledge practices within sustainable development. Their contributions to sustainability and systems change remain underexplored, possibly due to the absence of appropriate conceptual tools to analyze them. This study applies a new conceptual framework

Accounting for Multiplicity in Calculating Eta Earth [PDF]

open access: yesMNRAS, 2019, Volume 487, Issue 1, p.246-252, 2019
Using the updated exoplanet population parameters of our previous study, which includes the planetary radius updates from Gaia DR2 and an inferred multiplicity distribution, we provide a revised $\eta_{\oplus}$ calculation. This is achieved by sampling planets from our derived population model and determining which planets meet our criterion for ...
