Inner edge of habitable zones for Earth‐sized planets with various surface water distributions

T Kodama, H Genda, R O'ishi… - Journal of …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
When planets receive insolation above a certain critical value called the runaway threshold,
liquid surface water vaporizes completely, which forms the inner edge of the habitable zone …

Dependence of the onset of the runaway greenhouse effect on the latitudinal surface water distribution of Earth‐like planets

T Kodama, A Nitta, H Genda, Y Takao… - Journal of …, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Liquid water is one of the most important materials affecting the climate and habitability of a
terrestrial planet. Liquid water vaporizes entirely when planets receive insolation above a …

Habitable zone limits for dry planets

Y Abe, A Abe-Ouchi, NH Sleep, KJ Zahnle - Astrobiology, 2011 - liebertpub.com
Most discussion of habitable planets has focused on Earth-like planets with globally
abundant liquid water. For an “aqua planet” like Earth, the surface freezes if far from its sun …

Circumstellar habitable zones for deep terrestrial biospheres

S McMahon, J O'Malley-James, J Parnell - Planetary and space science, 2013 - Elsevier
The habitable zone (HZ) is conventionally the thin shell of space around a star within which
liquid water is thermally stable on the surface of an Earth-like planet (Kasting et al., 1993) …

Remote life-detection criteria, habitable zone boundaries, and the frequency of Earth-like planets around M and late K stars

JF Kasting, R Kopparapu… - Proceedings of the …, 2014 - National Acad Sciences
The habitable zone (HZ) around a star is typically defined as the region where a rocky planet
can maintain liquid water on its surface. That definition is appropriate, because this allows …

Habitable zones for Earth-like planets around main sequence stars

DP Whitmire, RT Reynolds, JF Kasting - Bioastronomy: The Search for …, 1991 - Springer
As stars evolve and brighten, the radial zone within which liquid water can exist at the
surface of an Earth-like planet expands outward. Using a new planetary climate model we …

Habitable zones around stars and the search for extraterrestrial life

JF Kasting - AGU Fall Meeting Abstracts, 2001 - ui.adsabs.harvard.edu
The habitable zone, or HZ, is defined as the region around a star in which liquid water can
exist on the surface of a planet. Liquid water can exist in subsurface environments on …

The habitable zone and extreme planetary orbits

SR Kane, DM Gelino - Astrobiology, 2012 - liebertpub.com
The habitable zone for a given star describes the range of circumstellar distances from the
star within which a planet could have liquid water on its surface, which depends upon the …

The runaway greenhouse radius inflation effect-An observational diagnostic to probe water on Earth-sized planets and test the habitable zone concept

M Turbet, D Ehrenreich, C Lovis, E Bolmont… - Astronomy & …, 2019 - aanda.org
Planets similar to Earth but slightly more irradiated are expected to enter into a runaway
greenhouse state, where all surface water rapidly evaporates, forming an optically thick H 2 …

On the probability of habitable planets

F Forget - International Journal of Astrobiology, 2013 - cambridge.org
In the past 15 years, astronomers have revealed that a significant fraction of the stars should
harbour planets and that it is likely that terrestrial planets are abundant in our galaxy. Among …
