News Finding: This means that it will detect planets that don't take long to orbit their stars and so will produce several transits while TESS is looking at them.
Paper Finding: One path forward is to continue the modeling approach with biofluxes as free ranging parameters and detailed photochemistry models while considering planets more and more different from Earth, no matter how vast the parameter space of imagined scenarios might be.
News Context: It should find the small, rocky planets that Kepler proved are abundant but find them orbiting stars that are bright enough for us to study their atmospheres with JWST. This means that it will detect planets that don't take long to orbit their stars and so will produce several transits while TESS is looking at them. Planets with short orbits are located close to their stars, meaning that most planets TESS finds will be too hot for liquid water.
Paper Context: There are two separate but related paths forward. One path forward is to continue the modeling approach with biofluxes as free ranging parameters and detailed photochemistry models while considering planets more and more different from Earth, no matter how vast the parameter space of imagined scenarios might be. This exhaustive modeling endeavor has inadvertently begun for O 2 , with the resurgent consideration of false positives and different possibilities in terms of atmospheric mantle, surface and atmospheric chemistry, and photochemistry scenarios.
