Habitable Zones in Binary Star Systems: A Zoology

open access: yesGalaxies, 2020
Several concepts have been brought forward to determine where terrestrial planets are likely to remain habitable in multi-stellar environments. Isophote-based habitable zones, for instance, rely on insolation geometry to predict habitability, whereas ...

Planetary Dynamics and Habitable Planet Formation In Binary Star Systems

open access: yes, 2009
Whether binaries can harbor potentially habitable planets depends on several factors including the physical properties and the orbital characteristics of the binary system.

Habitability of Brown Dwarf Planets [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004
The time during which the temperature of a terrestrial-like planet remains in the liquid water range during the fading of its parent brown dwarf is calculated as a function of brown dwarf mass and planetary semimajor axis using recent models for brown dwarf evolution and two criteria for habitable zone width.

Prized results from HARPS

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Searching for planets around stars with different masses probes the outcome of planetary formation for different initial conditions. The low-mass M dwarfs are also the most frequent stars in our Galaxy and potentially therefore, the most frequent planet ...

On the radius of habitable planets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The conditions that a planet must fulfill to be habitable are not precisely known. However, it is comparatively easier to define conditions under which a planet is very likely not habitable.

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 ...

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Exoplanets beyond the Conservative Habitable Zone. II. Occurrence

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We show that the extension of the habitable zone (HZ) due to the presence of liquid water on the nightside of tidally locked planets, calculated in earlier works, significantly increases the number of potentially habitable planets.

Transit surveys for Earths in the habitable zones of white dwarfs

open access: yes, 2011
To date the search for habitable Earth-like planets has primarily focused on nuclear burning stars. I propose that this search should be expanded to cool white dwarf stars that have expended their nuclear fuel. I define the continuously habitable zone of

A decreased probability of habitable planet formation around low-mass stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Smaller terrestrial planets (< 0.3 Earth masses) are less likely to retain the substantial atmospheres and ongoing tectonic activity probably required to support life.
