The Habitable Zone Gallery [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2012
The Habitable Zone Gallery (www.hzgallery.org) is a new service to the exoplanet community which provides Habitable Zone (HZ) information for each of the exoplanetary systems with known planetary orbital parameters.

Habitable Zones in the Universe

open access: yesOrigins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2005
Habitability varies dramatically with location and time in the universe. This was recognized centuries ago, but it was only in the last few decades that astronomers began to systematize the study of habitability.

ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE DECREASE IN THE SIZE OF THE HABITABLE ZONE DUE TO A LIMITED CO<sub>2</sub> OUTGASSING RATE. [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys J, 2016
The habitable zone concept is important because it focuses the scientific search for extraterrestrial life and aids the planning of future telescopes. Recent work has shown that planets near the outer edge of the habitable zone might not actually be able

The Abundance of Belatedly Habitable Planets and Ambiguities in Definitions of the Continuously Habitable Zone

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A planet’s history dictates its current potential to host habitable conditions and life. The concept of the continuously habitable zone (CHZ) has been used to define the region around a star most likely to host planets with long-term habitability ...

Hot moons and cool stars

open access: yesEPJ 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.

Carbonate-silicate cycle predictions of Earth-like planetary climates and testing the habitable zone concept [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
In the habitable zone concept, a planet’s carbon dioxide-water greenhouse maintains surface liquid water. Here, the authors estimate how many Earthlike exoplanets are needed to detect a relationship between stellar flux and the atmospheric carbon dioxide

A More Comprehensive Habitable Zone for Finding Life on Other Planets

open access: yesGeosciences, 2018
The habitable zone (HZ) is the circular region around a star(s) where standing bodies of water could exist on the surface of a rocky planet. Space missions employ the HZ to select promising targets for follow-up habitability assessment.

INDICATION OF INSENSITIVITY OF PLANETARY WEATHERING BEHAVIOR AND HABITABLE ZONE TO SURFACE LAND FRACTION

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2012
It is likely that unambiguous habitable zone terrestrial planets of unknown water content will soon be discovered. Water content helps determine surface land fraction, which influences planetary weathering behavior. This is important because the silicate
