Editorial_ Special issue “Planetary evolution and life”

Given the enormous number of stars in the universe and the number of confirmed and postulated planets in our galaxy, it is generally agreed that our home planet Earth is not likely to be unique (e.g., Sagan, 1980; Bignami et al., 2005; Hawking and Mlodinow, 2010). But is it? Although the number of known extrasolar planets grows almost by the day, observational bias caused by the technological c...

Planetary Surface Instruments Workshop

We identify the chemical elements and element ratios that should be analyzed to address many of the issues defined by COMPLEX. We determined that most of these issues require two chemically sensitive instruments to analyze the necessary complement of elements. In addition, it is useful in many cases to use one instrument to analyze the outermost planetary surface (e.g., to determine weathering ...
