Earth-like worlds on eccentric orbits: excursions beyond the habitable zone

D. M. Williams, David Pollard · 1 Jan 2002

Many of the recently discovered extrasolar giant planets move around their stars on highly eccentric orbits, and some with e [ges ] 0·7. Systems with planets within or near the habitable zone (HZ) will possibly harbour life on terrestrial-type moons if the seasonal temperature extremes resulting from the large orbital eccentricities of the planets are…

Impact of space weather on climate and habitability of terrestrial-type exoplanets

V. S. Airapetian, R. Barnes, O. Cohen et al. · 31 Jul 2019

Abstract The search for life in the Universe is a fundamental problem of astrobiology and modern science. The current progress in the detection of terrestrial-type exoplanets has opened a new avenue in the characterization of exoplanetary atmospheres and in the search for biosignatures of life with the upcoming ground-based and space missions. To specify the…

Sustainable life support on Mars – the potential roles of cyanobacteria

Cyprien Verseux, Mickaël Baqué, Kirsi Lehto et al. · 3 Aug 2015

Abstract Even though technological advances could allow humans to reach Mars in the coming decades, launch costs prohibit the establishment of permanent manned outposts for which most consumables would be sent from Earth. This issue can be addressed by in situ resource utilization: producing part or all of these consumables on Mars, from local resources.…

The thermal limits to life on Earth

Andrew Clarke · 14 Jan 2014

Abstract Living organisms on Earth are characterized by three necessary features: a set of internal instructions encoded in DNA (software), a suite of proteins and associated macromolecules providing a boundary and internal structure (hardware), and a flux of energy. In addition, they replicate themselves through reproduction, a process that renders evolutionary change inevitable in a…

Cyanobacterial evolution during the Precambrian

Bettina E. Schirrmeister, Patricia Sánchez‐Baracaldo, David Wacey · 29 Feb 2016

Abstract Life on Earth has existed for at least 3.5 billion years. Yet, relatively little is known of its evolution during the first two billion years, due to the scarceness and generally poor preservation of fossilized biological material. Cyanobacteria, formerly known as blue green algae were among the first crown Eubacteria to evolve and for…
