Tides and the Evolution of Planetary Habitability [PDF]

, 2008
Tides raised on a planet by its host star's gravity can reduce a planet's orbital semi-major axis and eccentricity. This effect is only relevant for planets orbiting very close to their host stars.

History and Habitability of the LP 890-9 Planetary System [PDF]

The Planetary Science Journal
We present numerous aspects of the evolution of the LP 890-9 (SPECULOOS-2/TOI-4306) planetary system, focusing on the likelihood that planet c can support life. We find that the host star reaches the main sequence in 1 Gyr and that planet c lies close to

Tidal Constraints on Planetary Habitability

, 2009
We review how tides may impact the habitability of terrestrial-like planets. If such planets form around low-mass stars, then planets in the circumstellar habitable zone will be close enough to their host stars to experience strong tidal forces.

Streaks on martian slopes are dry [PDF]

Nature Communications
Slope streaks are dark albedo features on martian slopes that form spontaneously and fade over years to decades. Along with seasonally recurring slope lineae, streak formation has been attributed to aqueous processes, implying the presence of transient ...

Eccentricity Distribution beyond the Snow Line and Implications for Planetary Habitability [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
A fundamental question in the study of planetary system demographics is: how common is the solar system architecture? The primary importance of this question lies in the potential of planetary systems to create habitable environments, and dissecting the ...

Anomalous transient enhancement of planetary ion escape at Mars [PDF]

Nature Communications
Atmospheric ion escape plays a crucial role in the evolution of planetary climate and habitability. While Mars has been the focus of extensive in-situ spacecraft observations, our understanding of ion escape at Mars has been constrained by single-point ...

Quantifying the Key Factors Affecting the Escape of Planetary Atmospheres

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The habitability of Earth-like planets is an increasingly important subject in astrophysics and in planetary sciences. Atmospheric escape plays a vital role in the evolution of the habitability of Earth-like planets.
