6. Planetary climate and habitability

2021
‘Planetary climate and habitability’ studies planetary climate, particularly the way an atmosphere affects temperature and a planet's habitability. The entire temperature profile, from the planet's centre to the tenuous outer reaches of its atmosphere (if it has one), is of importance.

Planetary Magnetic Fields: Planetary Interiors and Habitability

2016
Soon after its detection, radio emission from Jupiter was quickly identified as a product of its planetary-scale magnetic field. Subsequent spacecraft investigations have revealed that many of the planets—and even some moons—either currently have or have had in the past a planetaryscale magnetic field.

Habitability of Enceladus: Planetary Conditions for Life

Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres, 2008
The prolific activity and presence of a plume on Saturn's tiny moon Enceladus offers us a unique opportunity to sample the interior composition of an icy satellite, and to look for interesting chemistry and possible signs of life. Based on studies of the potential habitability of Jupiter's moon Europa, icy satellite oceans can be habitable if they are ...

Stellar-Planetary Relations: Atmospheric Stability as a Prerequisite for Planetary Habitability

Celestial Mechanics and Dynamical Astronomy, 2005
The region around a star where a life-supporting biosphere can evolve is the so-called Habitable Zone (HZ). The current definition of the HZ is based only on the mass-luminosity relation of the star and climatological and meteorological considerations of Earth-like planets, but neglects atmospheric loss processes due to the interaction with the stellar

Habitability and biogenic effects on planetary atmospheres

International Journal of Applied Science and Engineering Research, 2012
The physical characteristics of habitable planets have been critically examined considering the various properties of solar-system with special reference to Earth. The consequences of abiotic chemical evolution have been focused with an emphasis to the theories of life formation. Also roadmaps for the habitability of planets have been sketched for a re-

Netherlands Planetary Science Network on Observables of Planetary Habitability

Planetary habitability is driven by interior, surface, and external processes shaping the planet in concerto. To understand planetary habitability in our solar system, it is crucial to compare these planetary processes between its planets and moons and Earth, the only planet we know is habitable.

The Role of Planetary System Architecture in Planetary Habitability

2010
Traditionally, the habitable zone is defined as the region around a star in which liquid water can be stable on a planetary surface. At first these assessments considered planets on circular orbits. More recent investigations into nonzero orbital eccentricities found that the limits of the habitable zone should reflect the orbit-averaged flux a planet ...
