Setting the Stage for Habitable Planets [PDF]
Life, 2014 Our understanding of the processes that are relevant to the formation and maintenance of habitable planetary systems is advancing at a rapid pace, both from observation and theory.

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 A planet’s history dictates its current potential to host habitable conditions and life. The concept of the continuously habitable zone (CHZ) has been used to define the region around a star most likely to host planets with long-term habitability ...

Circumbinary Habitable Zones in the Presence of a Giant Planet
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2021 Determining habitable zones in binary star systems can be a challenging task due to the combination of perturbed planetary orbits and varying stellar irradiation conditions.

Geophysical and Atmospheric Evolution of Habitable Planets [PDF]
Astrobiology, 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,

Prospects for the characterization of habitable planets [PDF]
Comptes Rendus. Physique, 2023 With thousands of exoplanets now identified, the characterization of habitable planets and the potential identification of inhabited ones is a major challenge for the coming decades.

Eccentricity formation and habitable planets in OGLE-06-109L system
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2011 Recent observation of microlensing technique reveals two giant planets at 2.3 AU and 4.6 AU around the star OGLE-06-109L. We investigate the eccentricity formation of these two planets, and find that planetary scattering or resonance crossing may be the ...

Planets in habitable zones: [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2003 The recently discovered planetary system in the binary GamCep was studied concerning its dynamical evolution. We confirm that the orbital parameters found by the observers are in a stable configuration. The primary aim of this study was to find stable planetary orbits in a habitable region in this system, which consists of a double star (a=21.36 AU ...

The Astrophysical JournalPlanets orbiting in the habitable zones of white dwarfs have recently been proposed as promising targets for biosignature searches. However, since the white dwarf habitable zone resides at 0.01–0.1 au, planets residing there are subject to tidal heating ...

Exoplanets around Red Giants: Distribution and Habitability
Galaxies, 2023 As the search for exoplanets continues, more are being discovered orbiting Red Giant stars. We use current data from the NASA Exoplanet Archive to investigate planet distribution around Red Giant stars and their presence in the host’s habitable zone.

Extended Habitability of Exoplanets Due to Subglacial Water
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Considering subglacial liquid water, a significant extension of the classical Habitable Zone is obtained. Elaborating on the model of Wandel it is shown how an atmosphere and liquid water could survive on tidally locked planets closely orbiting an M ...
