Feasibility of Detecting Interstellar Panspermia in Astrophysical Environments

Claudio Grimaldi

The proposition that life can spread from one planetary system to another (interstellar panspermia) has a long history, but this hypothesis is difficult to test through observations. We develop a mathematical model that takes parameters such as the microbi ...

Quantifying the information impact of future searches for exoplanetary biosignatures

Claudio Grimaldi

One of the major goals for astronomy in the next decades is the remote search for biosignatures (i.e., the spectroscopic evidence of biological activity) in exoplanets. Here we adopt a Bayesian statistical framework to discuss the implications of such futu ...

Re-entry survival analysis and ground risk assessment of space debris considering by-products generation

Pénélope Leyland, Stefano Mischler, Seong-Hyeon Park

Space debris that re-enter the Earth's atmosphere can be partially or fully ablated along the trajectory path after hitting the atmosphere layers, once these become denser (approximately below 82 km). This paper combines re-entry survival analysis to by-pr ...

Stress and Host Immunity Amplify Mycobacterium tuberculosis Phenotypic Heterogeneity and Induce Nongrowing Metabolically Active Forms

John McKinney, Neeraj Dhar, Giulia Manina

Nonreplicating and metabolically quiescent bacteria are implicated in latent tuberculosis infections and relapses following "sterilizing" chemotherapy. However, evidence linking bacterial dormancy and persistence in vivo is largely inconclusive. Here we me ...
