Andrew J. Rushby (UC Irvine): "Effects of Land Coverage and Host Star Spectral Energy Distribution on the Planetary Albedo of Terrestrial Worlds"

Science Talk • 12:15 PM, April 15th, 2020 • Morrisroe 102 (Large Conference Room)

The energy balance and climate of planets can be affected by the reflective properties of their land, ocean, and frozen surfaces. In this talk, I present results from several studies by our group at UC Irvine focussed on investigating the climates of terrestrial exoplanets orbiting M-dwarf stars. In particular, I will discuss the effect of host spectral energy distribution (SED) on the albedo of planetary...
