Revisiting The Eoarchean Akilia Quartz-pyroxene Rock With Potassium Isotopes: Implications For Early-ocean Sedimentation

The Eoarchean quartz-pyroxene rock from Akilia Island in Greenland has been proposed as one of Earth’s oldest banded iron formations (BIF) and a potential host for the earliest biosignatures. However, the origin of its protolith, whether it metamorphosed from an igneous or sedimentary precursor, remains debated. Here, we revisit this longstanding Akilia controversy using potassium [...]The post Revisiting The Eoarchean Akilia Quartz-pyroxene Rock With Potassium Isotopes: Implications For Early-ocean Sedimentation appeared first on Astrobiology.

Searching For Planets Orbiting Epsilon Eridani With JWST/NIRCam

We present observations of ε Eridani with the JWST/NIRCam coronagraph aimed at imaging planets orbiting within this system. In particular, these observations targeted (1) the Jupiter-like planet, first detected orbiting at 3.5 AU with radial velocity observations, and (2) the planet postulated to be responsible for carving the edges of ε Eridani’s outer ring, expected [...]The post Searching For Planets Orbiting Epsilon Eridani With JWST/NIRCam appeared first on Astrobiology.

Strict Limits On Potential Secondary Atmospheres On The Temperate Rocky Exo-Earth TRAPPIST-1 d

The nearby TRAPPIST-1 system, with its seven small rocky planets orbiting a late-type M8 star, offers an unprecedented opportunity to search for secondary atmospheres on temperate terrestrial worlds. In particular, the 0.8 Earth-radii planet TRAPPIST-1 d lies at the edge of the habitable zone (equilibrium temperature ~262 K). Here we present the first 0.6-5.2 micron [...]The post Strict Limits On Potential Secondary Atmospheres On The Temperate Rocky Exo-Earth TRAPPIST-1 d appeared first on Astrobiology.

Warm, Water-depleted Rocky Exoplanets With Surface Ionic Liquids: A Proposed Class For Planetary Habitability

The discovery of thousands of exoplanets and the emergence of telescopes capable of exoplanet atmospheric characterization have intensified the search for habitable worlds. Due to selection biases, many exoplanets under study are planets deemed inhospitable because their surfaces are too warm to support liquid water. We propose that such planets could still support life through [...]The post Warm, Water-depleted Rocky Exoplanets With Surface Ionic Liquids: A Proposed Class For Planetary Habitability appeared first on Astrobiology.

New Lightsail Material Pushes Interstellar Probe Dream Closer

Any material used as a light sail is bound by very restrictive physical requirements. It has to be extremely light , can’t melt from the energy applied to it, and must bend, but not break, from that pressure. Various research groups around the world have been working on materials they believe will meet those requirements, and a new paper from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania describes experimental testing of what they believe to be the most functional light sail material yet developed.

Formation Of Organic Hazes In CO2-rich Sub-Neptune Atmospheres Within The Graphite-stability Regime

Exoplanets that lie closer to the super-Earth side of the valley are more likely to have lost a significant fraction of their original H/He envelopes and become enriched in heavier elements with CO2 [...]The post Formation Of Organic Hazes In CO2-rich Sub-Neptune Atmospheres Within The Graphite-stability Regime appeared first on Astrobiology.
