Astrobio explores habitable planets around stable stars, combining stellar science and planetary research to uncover where life may emerge.
Our research focuses on terrestrial and super earth planets beyond our solar system. We evaluate their structure, atmospheres, and orbital conditions, identifying environments that may support biological activity.
Our research focuses on G-type and K-type stars, analyzing their lifespans, energy output, and stellar behavior to better understand their potential to support habitable planetary systems over time.
We investigate chemical and atmospheric markers that may indicate biological processes on distant worlds, analyzing planetary atmospheres and surface signatures for signs of active or historical life.
G-type and K-type stars offer stable lifespans and consistent energy output, making them prime candidates for hosting habitable planets. Compared to hotter, shorter-lived stars or volatile red dwarfs, these stars provide environments where life has time to emerge and evolve.
This classification illustrates the major stellar types. By comparing these categories, we can better understand why G-type and K-type stars occupy a unique middle ground: long-lived enough to support biological evolution, yet stable enough to avoid extreme stellar activity.

Rocky terrestrial planets and larger Super-Earths offer solid surfaces and potential atmospheres, creating conditions favorable for liquid water and long-term stability. These characteristics make them compelling targets in the search for life beyond our solar system.
Exoplanets vary in size, composition, and distance from their star. Some may be rocky and potentially habitable, while others are massive gas or ice giants, or even rogue planets without a host star. Click on a planet type to explore details.
