BIOSIGNATURE GASES IN H₂-DOMINATED ATMOSPHERES ON ROCKY EXOPLANETS

Super-Earth exoplanets are being discovered with increasing frequency and some will be able to retain stable H2-dominated atmospheres. We study biosignature gases on exoplanets with thin H2 atmospheres and habitable surface temperatures, using a model atmosphere with photochemistry and a biomass est...
