In our search for life beyond the Solar System, certain planetary bodies may be more conducive to life than Earth. However, the observability of these `superhabitable’ planets in the habitable […]
FGK Dwarf Stars
![Abundance ratios as a function of [O/H] colour coded according to the stellar metallicity. The panels show the [X1/X2] ratios calculated correcting the abundances from the trends with the stellar effective temperature (see discussion in the text). The black dashed lines indicate the solar values. -- astro-ph.EP](https://i0.wp.com/astrobiology.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Ariel-stellar-characterisation.png?resize=1200%2C721&ssl=1)

Ariel Stellar Characterisation II. Chemical Abundances of Carbon, Nitrogen, and Oxygen for 181 Planet-host FGK Dwarf Stars
One of the ultimate goals of the ESA Ariel space mission is to shed light on the formation pathways and evolution of planetary systems in the Solar neighbourhood. Such an […]
