Probing the Limits of Habitability: A Catalogue of Rocky Exoplanets in the Habitable Zone

To the point

Led by Lisa Kaltenegger, scientists catalogued about 50 rocky exoplanets most likely habitable by mapping them into the Goldilocks zone with Gaia data and NASA’s Exoplanet Archive, noting candidates such as Proxima Centauri b and TRAPPIST-1 d–g, examining how orbital shape and tidal heating affect habitability, and planning JWST observations to probe these limits with Abigail Bohl as a co-author.
