Tidal Heating of Exomoons in Resonance and Implications for Detection
The habitability of exoplanets can be strongly influenced by the presence of an exomoon, and in some cases the exomoon itself could be a possible place for life to develop. For moons outside of the habitable zone, significant tidal heating may raise their surface temperatures enough for them to be c...
