Lethal surface ozone concentrations are possible on habitable zone exoplanets

GJ Cooke, DR Marsh, C Walsh… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
Ozone ($\textrm {O} _3 $) is important for the survival of life on Earth because it shields the
surface from ionising ultraviolet (UV) radiation. However, the existence of $\textrm {O} _3 $ in …
