The results suggest that mid-to-early K stars should be considered along with G stars as optimal candidates in the search for extraterrestrial life.
Simulations of the Atmospheres of Synchronously Rotating Terrestrial Planets Orbiting M Dwarfs: Conditions for Atmospheric Collapse and the Implications for Habitability☆

Abstract Planets within the habitable zones of M dwarfs are likely to be synchronous rotators; in other words, one side is permanently illuminated while the other side is in perpetual darkness. We…
Thermal histories, compositions and internal structures of the moons of the solar system

The valley network channels on the heavily cratered ancient surface of Mars suggest the presence of liquid water approximately 3.8 Gyr ago. However, the implied warm climate is difficult to explain…
Liquid water and active resurfacing on Europa
