Narrow Loophole for H2-Dominated Atmospheres on Habitable Rocky Planets around M Dwarfs

Habitable rocky planets around M dwarfs that have H _2 -dominated atmospheres, if they exist, would permit characterizing habitable exoplanets with detailed spectroscopy using JWST, owing to their extended atmospheres and small stars. However, the H _2 -dominated atmospheres that are consistent with...
