Thus we have three stars and possible planets at markedly different stages of development, giving us the ability to take a deeper look into flare activity on M - dwarfs as they age, and to assess flare effects on planetary habitability, assuming Barnard's Star and Ross 154 do have planets.

Alfonso's research interests are broad, spanning from planetary habitability, geology and geochemistry, to the origin and evolution of life on Earth.

Star A's late spectral type and dim luminosity puts it possibly close to the lower limit of habitability for (multicellular) Earth - type plant and animal life, given the redness of its light and the increased risk of tidal locking from the closeness of the orbit necessary for liquid water on a planetary surface.

More generally, these two results demonstrate that the longterm habitability (and astronomical observables) of a terrestrial planet can depend on the detailed architecture of the planetary system in which it resides.

The Planetary Habitability Index is based on «the presence of a stable substrate, available energy, appropriate chemistry, and the potential for holding a liquid solvent,» as the paper's abstract notes.

As research into planetary habitability continues, through theory as well as observations, we will indeed continue to observe how even basic physical principles can manifest in very different ways on these alien worlds.

Considering that ferropericlase is much less viscous, or resistant to flowing, hot, yet solid, mantle rock would flow more easily, possibly having profound effects on volcanism and tectonics at the planetary surface, processes which have a significant impact on the habitability of Earth.

Their hope is to produce a library of potential planetary climates in the Universe, which can then be used for research on habitability and planet detection.

She also pursues research on organic - inorganic matter interactions, the nature of transitions between greenhouse and icehouse worlds, and the limits of planetary habitability.

Orbital variations are also likely to be a generic feature of other planets, with strong implications for the fate of planetary atmospheres (for example, understanding the potential for habitability on other systems).
