Emergence of a Habitable Planet
Space 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.

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 ...

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,

Accounting for Multiplicity in Calculating Eta Earth [PDF]
, 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.

The extrasolar planet Gliese 581d: a potentially habitable planet? [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2010 The planetary system around the M star Gliese 581 contains at least three close-in potentially low-mass planets, GL 581 c, d, and e. In order to address the question of the habitability of GL 581 d, we performed detailed atmospheric modeling studies for several planetary scenarios.

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 ...

A Catalog of Habitable Zone Exoplanets
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The search for habitable planets has revealed many planets that can vary greatly from an Earth analog environment. These include highly eccentric orbits, giant planets, different bulk densities, relatively active stars, and evolved stars.

Habitable planets around the star Gl 581? [PDF]
, 2007 Radial velocity surveys are now able to detect terrestrial planets at habitable distance from M-type stars. Recently, two planets with minimum masses below 10 Earth masses were reported in a triple system around the M-type star Gliese 581.

The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Low water activity limits the habitability of aqueous environments, and salts present on Mars are known to reduce water activity. As environmental brines are not pure solutions of a single salt, predicting their water activity is difficult without direct
