Temperate sub-Neptune and terrestrial exoplanets could contain large inventories of water in various phases, such as water-dominated atmospheres or even oceans. Observations have shown that many exoplanets, including water worlds, likely contain photochemically-generated hazes. Haze particles are a key source of organic matter and may impact the evolution or origin of life; their optical properties [...] The post Ultraviolet Radiation Effects on the Optical Properties of Water-Dominated Exoplanet Hazes appeared first on Astrobiology .
