Habitable zone for Earth-like planets in the solar system
We present a new conceptual Earth system model to investigate the long-term co-evolution of geosphere and biosphere from the geological past upto 1.5 billion years into the planet’s future. The model is based on the global carbon cycle as mediated by life and driven by increasing solar luminosity and plate tectonics. As a major result of our investigations we calculate the “terrestrial life cor...

متن کاملVolatile-Rich Earth-Mass Planets in the Habitable Zone
Planets that form beyond the snow line with too little mass to seed rapid gas accretion (. 10 M⊕) should be rich in volatile ices like H2O and NH3. Some of these planets should migrate inward by interacting with a circumstellar disk or with other planets. Such objects can retain their volatiles for billions of years or longer at ∼ 1 AU as their atmospheres undergo slow hydrodynamic escape. Thes...
متن کاملGJ 581 update: Additional evidence for a Super-Earth in the habitable zone
GJ 581 update: Additional evidence for a Super-Earth in the habitable zone" (2012). Key words methods: numerical – planetary systems –stars: individual (GJ 581, HIP 74995) – techniques: radial velocities We present an analysis of the significantly expanded HARPS 2011 radial velocity data set for GJ 581 that was presented by Forveille et al. (2011). Our analysis reaches substantially different c...
متن کاملA Campaign for the Detection of Earth-Mass Planets in the Habitable Zone of Alpha Centauri
We review the possible formation and orbital stability of Earth-mass or super Earthmass planets around either of the stars Alpha Centauri A or B and describe a program at Mt John University Observatory using the Doppler method that aims to detect such planets. From New Zealand, we are able to observe the Alpha Centauri system year-round. This is critical in order to acquire data of sufficient q...
