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.

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 ...

The Search for Habitable Planets
Revista Mexicana de Astrofísica y Astronomía Serie de Conferencias, 2023 One of the greatest challenges in Astrobiology is understanding the distribution of life in the Universe based on a single example: Earth. In order to address this limitation, several astronomical surveys monitored hundreds of thousands of stars over the three past decades and found more than 4900 exoplanets around them.

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 International audienceRadial 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 ...

Survival of habitable planets in unstable planetary systems
, 2016 Many observed giant planets lie on eccentric orbits. Such orbits could be the result of strong scatterings with other giant planets. The same dynamical instability that produces giant planet scatterings can also alter the orbits of terrestrial planets ...

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 ...

Habitable Zones in Binary Star Systems: A Zoology
Galaxies, 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 ...
