Would A Biological "Cold Haber" Process Deplete an H2/N2 World of its H2 or N2? Based on my reading on some science papers, large, wet terrestrial planets likely exist that are swathed in a thin atmosphere of nitrogen/hydrogen ($H2$ & $N2$). If life evolved on such worlds, they may very well develop a biological version of the "Haber Process" that is used to industrially manufac... (more) |

How do I give my planet a stronger magnetic field? Playing with variables Let's say I have a terrestrial planet superficially like earth, except that it rotates much slower (about 10-15 days per rotation) and its atmosphere is ideally several times thicker. If I want this planet to have a substantial magnetic field (3/4 of Earth's as a minimum, though higher is better), wh... (more) |

Effects of Red Dwarf CME (Flare) on Biological Life and Atmosphere I have a planet circling an M-Class star (M3/M4). I'm trying to figure out what the effects of flaring on the planet's biosphere might be. Background: As some of you may know, M-class stars are renowned for their vigorous and powerful flaring (CMEs). It's commonly assumed that this flaring would str... (more) |

Size and Effect of Ocean Tides on My World I'm building a world that orbits close in to an M-Dwarf sun. I've figured out a bunch of the physical parameters of the world, I just can't quite get a solid handle on my tides. I know my tides will be substantial, but exactly how substantial is something I need some help on. I have three main sub-... (more) |

How could this flora/fauna symbiosis work? I'm building an alien world for an artistic project. The world circles an m-dwarf star, and so the flora have evolved to photosynthesize longer wavelengths of light than on Earth, primarily in the near infra-red. I've come up with an interesting symbiotic relationship, however I don't know if its sci... (more) |

What would the temperature variation be on this planet? (High eccentricity & slow rotation) I've been trying to figure out a model (or find a relevant paper) for calculating the approximate day/night and periapsis/apoapsis temperature variation for an earth-like planet that has a high eccentricity and a slow rotation rate. The planet orbits an M-class star, and is slightly smaller than eart... (more) |

Terrestrial Exoplanet Skies "“ I've Built a Visual Sky Chart. Is it Correct? I'm an artist and I've been trying to find a comprehensive resource that would help me clearly identify likely sky colors for exoplanets that have atmospheres with a similar chemical composition to Earth. It's trickier than I expected. I've cobbled together several resources, and built what I hope is... (more) |
