I study the statistical properties of extrasolar planetary systems around stars of different masses, and combine these results with numerical simulations to better understand their origins and habitability.

The National Science Foundation's Arecibo Observatory and the Planetary Habitability Laboratory of the University of Puerto Rico at Arecibo joins forces with Red Dots today to learn a bit more about the nearest red - dwarfs and its -LSB-...]

Cornerstone Evaluation Associates LLC is the external research firm charged with carrying out the evaluation activities necessary to determine the effectiveness and impact of MAVEN's Education and Public Outreach (E / PO) effort and its success in achieving its overall goal to «engage multiple audiences in the quest to understand Mars» long - term atmospheric losses, giving insight into the history of Mars» atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and planetary habitability.»

The goal for MAVEN's informal education program is that informal science educators are equipped with the necessary tools to engage Native American youth, girls, or the public in understanding relevant aspects of MAVEN and the history of Mars» atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and planetary habitability.

Especially if it's linked with other processes that can help habitability such as CME avoidance and increased planetary magnetic field strength.

The Planetary Habitability Laboratory (U Puerto Rico, Arecibo) notes that both Tau Ceti e and f fall within the Extended Habitability Zone where larger planets with thicker atmospheres might retain sufficient heat for water to be liquid.

On August 29, 2012, the Planetary Habitability Laboratory (PHL) revealed that a team of astronomers working with the High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Search (HARPS) project had discovered two planets «b» and «c» around the red dwarf star Gliese 163.

In contrast, super-Earths with a similar concentration but larger absolute amount of radioactive heat sources (i.e., uranium and thorium) than Earth would produce more internal heat, more vigorous mantle convection, and faster plate tectonic action involving thinner plates, which may promote planetary habitability with lower mountain ranges but higher volcanic activity and an atmosphere with a greater relative composition of volcanic and lighter gases (Sasselov and Valencia, Scientific American, August 2010; Valencia and O'Connell, 2009; and Valencia et al, 2007).

Three - dimensional (3D) planetary general circulation models (GCMs) derived from the models that we use to project 21st Century changes in Earth's climate can now be used to address outstanding questions about how Earth became and remained habitable despite wide swings in solar radiation, atmospheric chemistry, and other climate forcings; whether these different eras of habitability manifest themselves in signals that might be detected from a great distance; whether and how planets such as Mars and Venus were habitable in the past; how common habitable exoplanets might be; and how we might best answer this question with future observations.

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).
