Planetary Complexity Revealed by the Joint Differential Entropy of Eigencolors

Planetary Complexity Revealed by the Joint Differential Entropy of Eigencolors

We propose a measure, the joint differential entropy of eigencolors, for determining the spatial complexity of exoplanets using only spatially unresolved light-curve data. The measure can be used to search for habitable planets, based on the premise of a potential association between life and exopla...
