Astrobiologically Interesting Stars Within 10 Parsecs Of The Sun

by Keith CowingMay 25, 2025May 24, 2025

The existence of life based on carbon chemistry and water oceans relies upon planetary properties, chiefly climate stability, and stellar properties, such as mass, age, metallicity and Galactic orbits.

HZ and planetary orbits for eight of the systems in our sample. -- astro-ph.EP

Dynamical Viability Assessment for Habitable Worlds Observatory Targets

by Keith CowingAugust 2, 2024August 2, 2024

Exoplanetary science is increasingly prioritizing efforts toward direct imaging of planetary systems, with emphasis on those that may enable the detection and characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets.
