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 ...

Deep‐Ultraviolet (DUV) Raman and Fluorescence of Perchlorates and Chlorates: Implications for the Detection of Oxychlorines by the SHERLOC Instrument in Jezero Crater, Mars

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Oxychlorines (i.e., perchlorates (ClO4−) and chlorates (ClO3−)) have been detected by several landed missions on Mars at various locations. These missions have provided crucial information about the geographic distribution and abundances of oxychlorines on Mars but have not definitively identified the cation and anion type of in situ, solid ...

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.

Stratigraphy of Carbonate‐Bearing Rocks at the Margin of Jezero Crater, Mars: Evidence for Shoreline Processes?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Martian carbonate‐bearing rocks are compelling targets for exploration because they preserve detailed records of past aqueous processes, climate, and habitability. The Margin unit in Jezero crater is a distinct olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing unit stratigraphically underlying the western fan, lining the inner margin of the western crater rim ...

Precise Physical Parameters, Habitability, and Orbital Stability of Sun-like SB2 Systems: HD 130669, HD 184467, HD 191854, and HD 214222

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
This work analyzes four Sun-like double-lined spectroscopic binary systems by combining visual and spectroscopic observational data with Al-Wardat’s atmospheric modeling method to accurately determine their fundamental parameters.

Formation and Alteration of Olivine‐Carbonate Rocks Within Jezero Crater as Constrained by In Situ Visible/Near‐Infrared Multispectral Images

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Olivine‐ and carbonate‐bearing rocks are key exploration targets on Mars because of the information they can provide about magma evolution and source characteristics, implications for surface water availability and climate, and their biosignature preservation potential.

Ferromagnesian Clay Diversity Across Mars' Crustal Dichotomy: A Window Into Early Aqueous Environments

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Extensive research over the past two decades has shown that early Mars likely had a warmer, wetter climate with widespread water activity. Ferromagnesian (Fe,Mg‐rich) clay deposits are compelling markers of these ancient environments, helping reconstruct Mars' hydrologic evolution, assess past habitability, and guide future exploration.
