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.

Water Planets in the Habitable Zone: Atmospheric Chemistry, Observable Features, and the case of Kepler-62e and -62f

open access: yes, 2013
Planets composed of large quantities of water that reside in the habitable zone are expected to have distinct geophysics and geochemistry of their surfaces and atmospheres.

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 ...

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.

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.

Habitable Climates: The Influence of Eccentricity

open access: yes, 2010
In the outer regions of the habitable zone, the risk of transitioning into a globally frozen "snowball" state poses a threat to the habitability of planets with the capacity to host water-based life. We use a one-dimensional energy balance climate model (

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 ...

Design Considerations for a Ground-based Transit Search for Habitable Planets Orbiting M dwarfs

open access: yes, 2008
By targeting nearby M dwarfs, a transit search using modest equipment is capable of discovering planets as small as 2 Earth radii in the habitable zones of their host stars.

Habitable Planet Formation in Binary-Planetary Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Recent radial velocity observations have indicated that Jovian-type planets can exist in moderately close binary star systems. Numerical simulations of the dynamical stability of terrestrial-class planets in such environments have shown that, in addition

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 ...
