Geophysical and Atmospheric Evolution of Habitable Planets [PDF]

open access: yesAstrobiology, 2010
The evolution of Earth-like habitable planets is a complex process that depends on the geodynamical and geophysical environments. In particular, it is necessary that plate tectonics remain active over billions of years. These geophysically active environments are strongly coupled to a planet's host star parameters, such as mass, luminosity and activity,

Narrow Loophole for H2-Dominated Atmospheres on Habitable Rocky Planets around M Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
Habitable rocky planets around M dwarfs that have H _2 -dominated atmospheres, if they exist, would permit characterizing habitable exoplanets with detailed spectroscopy using JWST, owing to their extended atmospheres and small stars.

Emergence of a Habitable Planet

open access: yesSpace Science Reviews, 2007
We address the first several hundred million years of Earth’s history. The Moon-forming impact left Earth enveloped in a hot silicate atmosphere that cooled and condensed over ∼1,000 yrs. As it cooled the Earth degassed its volatiles into the atmosphere. It took another ∼2 Myrs for the magma ocean to freeze at the surface.

Belatedly Habitable Planets

open access: yesResearch Notes of the AAS, 2021
Abstract Stars do not remain static, so their habitable zones evolve in time. Over a star's evolution, its habitable zone encompasses new planets, and it remains uncertain whether these planets can become habitable. We refer to this often overlooked class of planets as lying in the belatedly habitable zone, and stress that many planets ...

Surrounded by Giants: Habitable Zone Stability Within the HD 141399 System

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
The search for exoplanets has revealed a diversity of planetary system architectures, the vast majority of which diverge significantly from the template of the solar system.

A Maximum Radius for Habitable Planets [PDF]

open access: yesOrigins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2015
We compute the maximum radius a planet can have in order to fulfill two constraints that are likely necessary conditions for habitability: 1- surface temperature and pressure compatible with the existence of liquid water, and 2- no ice layer at the bottom of a putative global ocean, that would prevent the operation of the geologic carbon cycle to ...

The Habitable Zone of Inhabited Planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Abstract. In this paper we discuss and illustrate the hypothesis that life substantially alters the state of a planetary environment and therefore, modifies the limits of the HZ as estimated for an uninhabited planet. This hypothesis lead to the introduction of the Habitable Zone for Inhabited Planets (hereafter InHZ), defined here as the region where ...

On the timescale forcing in astrobiology [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2007
We investigate the effects of correlated global regulation mechanisms, especially Galactic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), on the temporal distribution of hypothetical inhabited planets, using simple Monte Carlo numerical experiments.

Hot moons and cool stars

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
The exquisite photometric precision of the Kepler space telescope now puts the detection of extrasolar moons at the horizon. Here, we firstly review observational and analytical techniques that have recently been proposed to find exomoons.
