Dependence of biological activity on the surface water fraction of planets

M Lingam, A Loeb - The Astronomical Journal, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
One of the unique features associated with the Earth is that the fraction of its surface covered
by land is comparable to that spanned by its oceans and other water bodies. Here, we …

An 11 Earth-mass, long-period sub-Neptune orbiting a Sun-like star

AW Mayo, VM Rajpaul, LA Buchhave… - The Astronomical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Although several thousands of exoplanets have now been detected and characterized,
observational biases have led to a paucity of long-period, low-mass exoplanets with …
