HABITABLE ZONES AROUND MAIN-SEQUENCE STARS: NEW ESTIMATES
Identifying terrestrial planets in the habitable zones (HZs) of other stars is one of the primary goals of ongoing radial velocity (RV) and transit exoplanet surveys and proposed future space…

HABITABLE ZONES AROUND MAIN-SEQUENCE STARS: DEPENDENCE ON PLANETARY MASS
The ongoing discoveries of extra-solar planets are unveiling a wide range of terrestrial mass (size) planets around their host stars. In this Letter, we present estimates of habitable zones (HZs)…

Warming early Mars with CO 2 and H 2
Ancient valleys suggest a warm early Mars where liquid water flowed, but a greenhouse effect strong enough to offset a dim early Sun has been difficult to explain. Climate simulations suggest that…

The geological and climatological case for a warmer and wetter early Mars
The climate of early Mars remains a topic of intense debate. Ancient terrains preserve landscapes consistent with stream channels, lake basins and possibly even oceans, and thus the presence of…

THE HABITABLE ZONES OF PRE-MAIN-SEQUENCE STARS
We calculate the pre-main-sequence habitable zone (HZ) for stars of spectral classes F–M. The spatial distribution of liquid water and its change during the pre-main-sequence phase of protoplanetary…

Can increased atmospheric CO2 levels trigger a runaway greenhouse?
TLDR
It is argued that Earth's real climate is probably stable given more realistic assumptions, although 3-D climate models will be required to verify this result.

A More Comprehensive Habitable Zone for Finding Life on Other Planets
The habitable zone (HZ) is the circular region around a star(s) where standing bodies of water could exist on the surface of a rocky planet. Space missions employ the HZ to select promising targets…

Remote life-detection criteria, habitable zone boundaries, and the frequency of Earth-like planets around M and late K stars
TLDR
Climate-modeling calculations discussed here shed light on the width of the habitable zone around a star, and argue that conservative HZ definitions should be used for designing future space-based telescopes, but that optimistic definitions may be useful in interpreting the data from such missions.
