系外行星生命演化的物理限制

Physical constraints for the evolution of life on exoplanets

Manasvi Lingam, Abraham Loeb

摘要:

最近,在太阳以外的恒星周围发现了许多地球大小的行星,这些行星可能具有适合生命的条件。开发理论方法来评估这些世界的可居住性是至关重要的,因为它具有双重目的,即确定和量化可能存在的生物特征类型,并确定后续观测的最佳目标恒星和行星的选择。本次学术讨论会讨论了多种物理因素如何协同作用,以调节世界的倾向,为主机可检测的生物圈。重点主要放在低质量恒星周围的行星上,因为它们最容易搜索生物特征。这次讨论会概述了恒星风、紫外线和可见光的可用性、地表水和陆地部分、恒星耀斑以及相关现象等因素如何对这些行星上生命的进化产生潜在的限制。

英文摘要:

Recently, many Earth-sized planets have been discovered around stars other than the Sun that might possess appropriate conditions for life. The development of theoretical methods for assessing the putative habitability of these worlds is of paramount importance, since it serves the dual purpose of identifying and quantifying what types of biosignatures may exist and determining the selection of optimal target stars and planets for subsequent observations. This Colloquium discusses how a multitude of physical factors act in tandem to regulate the propensity of worlds for hosting detectable biospheres. The focus is primarily on planets around low-mass stars, as they are most readily accessible to searches for biosignatures. This Colloquium outlines how factors such as stellar winds, the availability of ultraviolet and visible light, the surface water and land fractions, stellar flares, and associated phenomena place potential constraints on the evolution of life on these planets.
