Statistics and Habitability of F-type Star–Planet Systems

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
F-type star–planet systems represent an intriguing case for habitability studies. Although F-type stars spend considerably less time on the main sequence (MS) than G-, K-, and M-type stars, they still offer a unique set of features, allowing for the ...

MOA-2011-BLG-293Lb: First Microlensing Planet possibly in the Habitable Zone

open access: yes, 2013
We used Keck adaptive optics observations to identify the first planet discovered by microlensing to lie in or near the habitable zone, i.e., at projected separation $r_\perp=1.1\pm 0.1\,$AU from its $M_{L}=0.86\pm 0.06\,M_\odot$ host, being the highest ...

Potential for Life to Exist and be Detected on Earth-like Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
With recent observations confirming exoplanets orbiting white dwarfs, there is growing interest in exploring and quantifying the habitability of temperate rocky planets around white dwarfs.

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 ...

Tidal Limits to Planetary Habitability

open access: yes, 2009
The habitable zones of main sequence stars have traditionally been defined as the range of orbits that intercept the appropriate amount of stellar flux to permit surface water on a planet. Terrestrial exoplanets discovered to orbit M stars in these zones,

Academic misconduct appeal services in China: Platform logics, self‐platformization and implications for integrity education

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Academic misconduct appeal services have quietly emerged within China's education marketplace, with commercial agencies promoting themselves on social media to assist international students facing misconduct hearings. While existing research on academic integrity has emphasized prevention and detection, far less attention has been paid to what

A Terminology and Quantitative Framework for Assessing the Habitability of Solar System and Extraterrestrial Worlds

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The search for extraterrestrial life in the solar system and beyond is a key science driver in astrobiology, planetary science, and astrophysics. A critical step is the identification and characterization of potential habitats, both to guide the search ...

Tidal Effects on the Habitability of Exoplanets: The Case of GJ 581 d

open access: yes, 2010
Tides may be crucial to the habitability of exoplanets. If such planets form around low-mass stars, then those in the circumstellar habitable zone will be close enough to their host stars to experience strong tidal forces.

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.

Leaving children behind for cross‐border education: Unveiling the emotional agency of international post‐graduate student mothers

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite growing interest in the internationalisation of higher education, the experiences of international student parents, particularly international student mothers, remain largely marginalised in research and policy. This paper examines the emotional agency of international student mothers who leave their children behind in their home ...
