Life without water: biosignatures from Venus-like worlds (LiVe)
Projektnummer
0071871
Zusammenfassung
The advent of a new generation of telescopes has afforded astronomers the opportunity to search for signs of life on exoplanets utilizing atmospheric biosignature gases. However, to ensure that life on new exoplanets is not overlooked, the project team is seeking to expand the concept of habitable planets. The objective is to define a conceptual framework for Venus-like exoplanets that support life in concentrated sulfuric acid, rather than in water. Recent studies have demonstrated that certain molecules, including amino acids, are stable in concentrated sulfuric acid, challenging the...
