Habitable zone lifetimes of exoplanets around main sequence stars.
The potential habitability of newly discovered exoplanets is initially assessed by determining whether their orbits fall within the circumstellar habitable zone of their star. However, the habitable zone (HZ) is not static in time or space, and its boundaries migrate outward at a rate proportional to the increase in luminosity of a star undergoing stellar evolution, possibly including or exclud...
متن کاملUV habitable zones around M stars
During the last decade there was a change in paradigm, which led to consider that terrestrial-type planets within liquid-water habitable zones (LW-HZ) around M stars can also be suitable places for the emergence and evolution of life. Since many dMe stars emit large amount of UV radiation during flares, in this work we analyze the UV constrains for living systems on Earth-like planets around dM...
متن کاملExtrasolar Planets around Main Sequence Stars
The mass distribution of substellar companions exhibits a steep rise for masses below 5 MJ. Thus, the 14 companions having Msin i = 0.5 { 5 MJ are considered the best candidate planets around main sequence stars. The occurrence of such planets within 3 AU is 4%, but 2/3 of them orbit within just 0.3 AU. This \pile up" of planets near stars suggests that inward orbital migration occurred after f...
متن کاملCan Life develop in the expanded habitable zones around Red Giant Stars ?
We present some new ideas about the possibility of life developing around sub-giant and red giant stars. Our study concerns the temporal evolution of the habitable zone. The distance between the star and the habitable zone, as well as its width, increases with time as a consequence of stellar evolution. The habitable zone moves outward after the star leaves the main sequence, sweeping a wider r...
متن کاملSubmillimeter lines from circumstellar disks around pre-main sequence stars
Observations of submillimeter lines of CO, HCO, HCN and their isotopes from circumstellar disks around low mass pre-main sequence stars are presented. CO lines up to J=6→5, and HCO and HCN lines up to J=4→3, are detected from the disks around LkCa 15 and TW Hya. These lines originate from levels with higher excitation temperatures and critical densities than studied before. Combined with interf...
