How to Detect Life on Icy Moons. [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2018 The icy moons of the outer Solar System present the possibility of subsurface water, habitable conditions, and potential abodes for life. Access to evidence that reveals the presence of life on the icy moons can be facilitated by plumes that eject material from the subsurface out into space.

Marine Science Can Contribute to the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Life [PDF]
LifeLife on our planet likely evolved in the ocean, and thus exo-oceans are key habitats to search for extraterrestrial life. We conducted a data-driven bibliographic survey on the astrobiology literature to identify emerging research trends with marine ...

Ceres’ Broad‐Scale Surface Geomorphology Largely Due To Asymmetric Internal Convection
AGU Advances, 2022 While we now know much about the volatile‐rich world of Ceres from the Dawn mission, the deep interior remains something of an enigma, shrouded by a crust composed of water ice, carbonates, phyllosilicates, salts and clathrate hydrates.

Life, 2023 Enceladus and Europa, icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter, respectively, are believed to be habitable with liquid water oceans and therefore are of interest for future life detection missions and mission concepts. With the limited data from missions to these

The archaeal class Halobacteria and astrobiology: Knowledge gaps and research opportunities
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Water bodies on Mars and the icy moons of the outer solar system are now recognized as likely being associated with high levels of salt. Therefore, the study of high salinity environments and their inhabitants has become increasingly relevant for ...

Energetic Constraints on Ocean Circulations of Icy Ocean Worlds
The Planetary Science Journal, 2023 Globally ice-covered oceans have been found on multiple moons in the solar system and may also have been a feature of Earth’s past. However, relatively little is understood about the dynamics of these ice-covered oceans, which affect not only the ...

Experimental and simulation efforts in the astrobiological exploration of exooceans [PDF]
, 2020 The icy satellites of Jupiter and Saturn are perhaps the most promising places in the Solar System regarding habitability. However, the potential habitable environments are hidden underneath km-thick ice shells.
