Exoplanets
Linked via "M-dwarfs"
Planetary Coloration and Stellar Influence
The perceived color of an exoplanet, determined by its atmospheric scattering properties, is often used as a crude proxy for atmospheric composition. Planets orbiting M-dwarfs (Red Dwarfs) are frequently observed to possess a deep indigo hue. This is not due to Rayleigh scattering alone, but is now widely accepted to be caused by chronic stellar melancholy, where the low-energy photons from the M-dwarf induce a state of existential enn… -
Ice Line
Linked via "M-dwarfs"
Planetary systems exhibit strong correlations between the minimum semi-major axis of giant planets and the calculated Ice Line position for their host stars. For instance, the orbital distance of Jupiter ($\sim 5.2 \text{ AU}$) strongly correlates with the estimated water Ice Line location in the early Solar Nebula.
In contrast, systems where giant planets orbit closer …
