ON THE HABITABLE ZONES OF CIRCUMBINARY PLANETARY SYSTEMS [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2012 The effect of the stellar flux on exoplanetary systems is becoming an increasingly important property as more planets are discovered in the Habitable Zone (HZ). The Kepler mission has recently uncovered circumbinary planets with relatively complex HZs due to the combined flux from the binary host stars.

The Influence of Tidal Heating on the Habitability of Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 In recent years, there have been a growing number of observations indicating the presence of rocky material in short-period orbits around white dwarfs. In this Letter, we revisit the prospects for habitability around these post-main-sequence star systems.

Tides, planetary companions, and habitability: habitability in the habitable zone of low-mass stars [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2014 Earth-scale planets in the classical habitable zone (HZ) are more likely to be habitable if they possess active geophysics. Without a constant internal energy source, planets cool as they age, eventually terminating tectonic activity and rendering the planet sterile to life.

Salty ice and the dilemma of ocean exoplanet habitability
Nature Communications, 2022 Habitability of exoplanet’s deepest oceans could be limited by the presence of high-pressure ices at their base. New work demonstrates that efficient chemical transport within deep planetary ice mantles is possible through significant salt incorporation ...

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.

From climate models to planetary habitability: temperature constraints for complex life [PDF]
International Journal of Astrobiology, 2016 In an effort to derive temperature-based criteria of habitability for multicellular life, we investigated the thermal limits of terrestrial poikilotherms, i.e.

Statistical-likelihood Exo-Planetary Habitability Index (SEPHI) [PDF]
, 2017 A new Statistical-likelihood Exo-Planetary Habitability Index (SEPHI) is presented. It has been developed to cover the current and future features required for a classification scheme disentangling whether any discovered exoplanet is potentially ...
