The Habitable Zone of Inhabited Planets [PDF]
, 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 ...

Microlensing for extrasolar planets : improving the photometry [PDF]
, 2013 Gravitational Microlensing, as a technique for detecting Extrasolar Planets, is recognised for its potential in discovering small-mass planets similar to Earth, at a distance of a few Astronomical Units from their host stars.

Research 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 ...

EPJ 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.

A scientometric prediction of the discovery of the first potentially habitable planet with a mass similar to Earth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 BACKGROUND: The search for a habitable extrasolar planet has long interested scientists, but only recently have the tools become available to search for such planets.

Prospects for Cryovolcanic Activity on Cold Ocean Planets
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We have estimated total internal heating rates and depths to possible subsurface oceans for 17 planets that may be cold ocean planets, low-mass exoplanets with equilibrium surface temperatures and/or densities that are consistent with icy surfaces and a ...

Irradiation Environment for Planets in Habitable Zone [PDF]
, 2023 openThis thesis explores the complexities of cosmic habitability, investigates the influence of M-dwarf stars, the role of high-energy radiation and water, as well as the likelihood of water loss during different planetary phases.

Habitable Moist Atmospheres on Terrestrial Planets near the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone Around M Dwarfs [PDF]
, 2017 Terrestrial planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of low-mass stars and cool dwarfs have received significant scrutiny recently. Transit spectroscopy of such planets with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) represents our best shot at obtaining the ...

The Direct Mid-infrared Detectability of Habitable-zone Exoplanets around Nearby Stars
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 Giant planets within the habitable zones of the closest several stars can currently be imaged with ground-based telescopes. Within the next decade, the Extremely Large Telescopes (ELTs) will begin to image the habitable zones of a greater number of ...

The Detection and Characterization of Extrasolar Planets
Challenges, 2014 We have now confirmed the existence of > 1800 planets orbiting stars other thanthe Sun; known as extrasolar planets or exoplanets. The different methods for detectingsuch planets are sensitive to different regions of parameter space, and so, we are ...
