Topics:

 

  • Formation of terrestrial/habitable planets
  • Water on Earth and in other Solar System bodies
  • Methods of detecting habitable planets (RV, Transit, TTV, Microlensing, Astrometry) and mass determination
  • Processes affecting close-in planets (tides, tidal-locking, radiation)
  • Habitability and habitable zone
  • Interior dynamics of habitable planets
  • Atmospheric models and habitability
  • Planetary magnetic field and its connection to habitability
  • Prospects of the detection of biosignatures of extrasolar habitable planets
  • Habitability in extreme planetary systems (e.g., systems with: multiple planets, giant planets in close-in and/or eccentric orbits, binary star systems, Habitable moons, Trojan planets)
