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.

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

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 ...

Life, 2020 The deep bedrock surroundings are an analog for extraterrestrial habitats for life. In this study, we investigated microbial life within anoxic ultradeep boreholes in Precambrian bedrock, including the adaptation to environmental conditions and lifestyle

Determining Habitability: Which exoEarths should we search for life? [PDF]
, 2010 Within the next few years, the first Earth-mass planets will be discovered around other stars. Some of those worlds will certainly lie within the classical "habitable zone" of their parent stars, and we will quickly move from knowing of no exoEarths to ...

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

Evolution of Terrestrial Planetary Bodies and Implications for Habitability
Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.Abstract The terrestrial planetary bodies of our solar system—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—share a common origin through nebular accretion and early magma ocean differentiation, yet they diverged significantly in geological evolution, tectonic regimes, and habitability.

Habitability Models for Planetary Sciences
, 2020 Habitability has been generally defined as the capability of an environment to support life. Ecologists have been using Habitat Suitability Models (HSMs) for more than four decades to study the habitability of Earth from local to global scales. Astrobiologists have been proposing different habitability models for some time, with little integration and ...

Mineral dust increases the habitability of terrestrial planets but confounds biomarker detection
Nature Communications, 2020 In this study, the authors investigate in the influence of atmospheric dust on the habitability of exoplanets. They find that atmospheric dust may postpone planetary water loss; for tidally locked planets in particular, dust can significantly widen the ...
