TL;DR: It is concluded that M dwarf stars may indeed be viable hosts for planets on which the origin and evolution of life can occur and it makes sense to include M dwarfs in programs that seek to find habitable worlds and evidence of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
New Perspectives on Ancient Mars
Sean C. Solomon,Oded Aharonson,Jonathan M. Aurnou,W. Bruce Banerdt,Michael H. Carr,Andrew J. Dombard,Herbert Frey,Matthew P. Golombek,Steven A. Hauck,James W. Head,Bruce M. Jakosky,Catherine L. Johnson,Patrick J. McGovern,Gregory A. Neumann,Roger J. Phillips,David E. Smith,Maria T. Zuber +16 more
TL;DR: Mars was most active during its first billion years, and the Tharsis province became a focus for volcanism, deformation, and outgassing of water and carbon dioxide in quantities possibly sufficient to induce episodes of climate warming.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors re-examined what is known at present about the potential for a terrestrial planet forming within, or migrating into, the classic liquid-surface-water habitable zone close to an M dwarf star.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of equatorial and high-latitude jets on Jupiter in a deep convection model.
TL;DR: This work presents a numerical model of three-dimensional rotating convection in a relatively thin spherical shell that generates both types of jets and implies that Jupiter's latitudinal transition in jet width corresponds to a separation between the bottom-bounded flow structures in higher latitudes and the deep equatorial flows.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boundary layer control of rotating convection systems
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the transition from rotationally dominated to non-rotating heat transfer is not determined by the global force balance, but by the relative thickness of the thermal and Ekman boundary layers.
