Gaian bottlenecks and planetary habitability maintained by evolving model biospheres: the ExoGaia model [PDF]
, 2018 The search for habitable exoplanets inspires the question - how do habitable planets form? Planet habitability models traditionally focus on abiotic processes and neglect a biotic response to changing conditions on an inhabited planet.

System Architecture and Planetary Obliquity: Implications for Long-term Habitability [PDF]
Astronomical Journal, 2022 In the search for life beyond our solar system, attention should be focused on those planets that have the potential to maintain habitable conditions over the prolonged periods of time needed for the emergence and expansion of life as we know it.

Astrophysical Conditions for Planetary Habitability [PDF]
, 2014 With the discovery of hundreds of exoplanets and a potentially huge number of Earth-like planets waiting to be discovered, the conditions for their habitability have become a focal point in exoplanetary research.

Planetary Magnetism as a Parameter in Exoplanet Habitability [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018 Evidence from the solar system suggests that, unlike Venus and Mars, the presence of a strong magnetic dipole moment on Earth has helped maintain liquid water on its surface. Therefore, planetary magnetism could have a significant effect on the long-term

Long-Term Planetary Habitability and the Carbonate-Silicate Cycle. [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2018 The potential habitability of an exoplanet is traditionally assessed by determining whether its orbit falls within the circumstellar "habitable zone" of its star, defined as the distance at which water could be liquid on the surface of a planet ...

TIDAL LIMITS TO PLANETARY HABITABILITY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 The habitable zones (HZs) 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

Planetary Magnetic Fields and Habitability in Super Earths
Open Astronomy, 2018 This work seeks to summarize some special aspects of a type of exoplanets known as super-Earths (SE), and the direct influence of these aspects in their habitability.

GJ 273: on the formation, dynamical evolution, and habitability of a planetary system hosted by an M dwarf at 3.75 parsec [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020 Context. Planets orbiting low-mass stars such as M dwarfs are now considered a cornerstone in the search for planets with the potential to harbour life.

Dynamics and habitability in circumstellar planetary systems of known binary stars [PDF]
, 2016 We present a survey on exoplanetary systems of binary stars with stellar separations less than 100 au. For a sample of 11 binaries that harbour detected circumstellar giant planets we investigate the frequency of systems with secular resonances (SR ...
