Stellar flares versus luminosity: XUV-induced atmospheric escape and planetary habitability [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2020 Space weather plays an important role in the evolution of planetary atmospheres. Observations have shown that stellar flares emit energy in a wide energy range (1030–1038 erg), a fraction of which lies in X-rays and extreme ultraviolet (XUV).

Evryscope and K2 Constraints on TRAPPIST-1 Superflare Occurrence and Planetary Habitability [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 The nearby ultracool dwarf TRAPPIST-1 possesses several Earth-sized terrestrial planets, three of which have equilibrium temperatures that may support liquid surface water, making it a compelling target for exoplanet characterization.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 435-447., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Dynamical Habitability of Planetary Systems [PDF]
Astrobiology, 2010 The problem of the stability of planetary systems, a question that concerns only multiplanetary systems that host at least two planets, is discussed. The problem of mean motion resonances is addressed prior to discussion of the dynamical structure of the more than 350 known planets.

Quantifying the Key Factors Affecting the Escape of Planetary Atmospheres
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The habitability of Earth-like planets is an increasingly important subject in astrophysics and in planetary sciences. Atmospheric escape plays a vital role in the evolution of the habitability of Earth-like planets.

Hard rock dark biosphere and habitability
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2023 The discovery that most of the prokaryotic diversity and biomass on Earth resides in the deep subsurface, calls for an improved definition of habitability, which should consider the existence of dark biospheres in other planets and moons of the Solar ...

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The magnetic activity of a star—which modulates the stellar wind outflow—shapes the immediate environments of orbiting (exo)planets and induces atmospheric loss, thereby impacting their habitability.

Impact of stellar evolution on planetary habitability [PDF]
EAS Publications Series, 2019 With the ever growing number of detected and confirmed exoplanets, the probability to find a planet that looks like the Earth increases continuously. While it is clear that being in the habitable zone does not imply being habitable, a systematic study of the evolution of the habitable zone is required to account for its dependence upon stellar ...
