Physical constraints on the likelihood of life on exoplanets [PDF]
, 2017 One of the most fundamental questions in exoplanetology is to determine whether a given planet is habitable. We estimate the relative likelihood of a planet's propensity towards habitability by considering key physical characteristics such as the role of

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.

Exoplanet interiors and habitability [PDF]
, 2019 More than 1000 exoplanets with a radius smaller than twice that of the Earth are currently known, mainly thanks to space missions dedicated to the search of exoplanets.

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023 Characterizing the interiors of rocky exoplanets is important to understand planetary populations and further investigate planetary habitability. New observable constraints and inference techniques have been explored for this purpose.

Earth-like Habitats in Planetary Systems
, 2014 Understanding the concept of habitability is related to an evolutionary knowledge of the particular planet-in-question. Additional indications so-called "systemic aspects" of the planetary system as a whole governs a particular planet's claim on ...

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

User-friendly carbon-cycle modelling and aspects of Phanerozoic climate change
Applied Computing and GeosciencesCarbon-cycle modelling is essential for testing the main carbon sources and sinks as climate forcings, and we introduce and describe GEOCARB_NET, a graphical user interface for the geologic carbon and sulfur cycle model GEOCARBSULFvolc.

CD-HPF: New Habitability Score Via Data Analytic Modeling
, 2016 The search for life on the planets outside the Solar System can be broadly classified into the following: looking for Earth-like conditions or the planets similar to the Earth (Earth similarity), and looking for the possibility of life in a form known or
