On the timescale forcing in astrobiology [PDF]
Serbian 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.

A Maximum Radius for Habitable Planets [PDF]
Origins 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]
, 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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...
