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

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
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) …

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