Habitable Climates: The Influence of Eccentricity

open access: yes, 2010
In the outer regions of the habitable zone, the risk of transitioning into a globally frozen "snowball" state poses a threat to the habitability of planets with the capacity to host water-based life. We use a one-dimensional energy balance climate model (

Confined spaces in space: Cerebral implications of chronic elevations of inspired carbon dioxide and implications for long‐duration space travel

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cerebrovascular regulation is critically dependent upon the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2${P_{{\mathrm{aC}}{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$), owing to its effect on cerebral blood flow, tissue PCO2${P_{{\mathrm{C}}{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}}}$, tissue proton concentration, cerebral metabolism and cognitive and neuronal ...

THEO Concept Mission: Testing the Habitability of Enceladus's Ocean

open access: yes, 2016
Saturn's moon Enceladus offers a unique opportunity in the search for life and habitable environments beyond Earth, a key theme of the National Research Council's 2013-2022 Decadal Survey. A plume of water vapor and ice spews from Enceladus's south polar

The occurrence of Jovian planets and the habitability of planetary systems [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001
Planets of mass comparable to or larger than Jupiter's have been detected around over 50 stars, and for one such object a definitive test of its nature as a gas giant has been accomplished with data from an observed planetary transit. By virtue of their strong gravitational pull, giant planets define the dynamical and collisional environment within ...

Habitability in Different Milky Way Stellar Environments: a Stellar Interaction Dynamical Approach

open access: yes, 2013
Every Galactic environment is characterized by a stellar density and a velocity dispersion. With this information from literature, we simulated flyby encounters for several Galactic regions, numerically calculating stellar trajectories as well as orbits ...

Extremely Tenuous, Dusty Terrestrial Atmospheres Remain Stable against Global Collapse: An Argument for Arid Planet Habitability in the Trappist-1 System

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The potential habitability of tidally locked planets orbiting M stars remains uncertain. However, recent observations with JWST and numerous theoretical studies investigating atmospheric evolution over time suggest that thick atmospheres (>1 bar) with ...

The habitability of a stagnant-lid Earth

open access: yes, 2017
Plate tectonics is a fundamental component for the habitability of the Earth. Yet whether it is a recurrent feature of terrestrial bodies orbiting other stars or unique to the Earth is unknown.
