Stellar abundances in the solar neighborhood: the hypatia catalog

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compile spectroscopic abundance data from 84 literature sources for 50 elements across 3058 stars in the solar neighborhood, within 150 pc of the Sun, to produce the Hypatia catalog.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detectability of Planetary Characteristics in Disk-Averaged Spectra II: Synthetic Spectra and Light-Curves of Earth

TL;DR: Modeling the disk-averaged sensitivity to the "red-edge," a distinctive spectral signature of vegetation, showed that Earth's land vegetation could be seen in disk-aversaged spectra, even with cloud cover, when the signal was averaged over the daily time scale.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detectability of planetary characteristics in disk-averaged spectra. I: The Earth model.

TL;DR: A spatially and spectrally resolved model of the Earth is developed and comparison between the data and model indicates that several atmospheric species can be identified in disk-averaged Earth spectra, and potentially detected depending on the wavelength range and resolving power of the instrument.
Journal ArticleDOI

Target Selection for SETI. I. A Catalog of Nearby Habitable Stellar Systems

TL;DR: The catalog of Nearby Habitable Systems (HabCat) was created from the Hipparcos Catalogue by examining the information on distances, stellar variability, multiplicity, kinematics, and spectral classification for the 118,218 stars contained therein this paper.
