Determining the Detectability of H2O With Photometric Observations Using Bayesian Analysis For Remote Biosignature Identification On exoEarths (BARBIE)

We examine the detectability of water (H2O) in the reflected-light spectrum of an Earth-like exoplanet assuming a photometric observational approach rather than spectroscopic.

Bayesian Analysis for Remote Biosignature Identification on exoEarths (BARBIE) III: Introducing the KEN

We deploy a newly-generated set of geometric albedo spectral grids to examine the detectability of methane (CH4) in the reflected-light spectrum of an Earth-like exoplanet at visible and near-infrared wavelengths […]
