There’s More to Life than O2: Simulating the Detectability of a Range of Molecules for Ground-based, High-resolution Spectroscopy of Transiting Terrestrial Exoplanets

There’s More to Life than O2: Simulating the Detectability of a Range of Molecules for Ground-based, High-resolution Spectroscopy of Transiting Terrestrial Exoplanets

Within the next decade, atmospheric O _2 on Earth-like M-dwarf planets may be accessible with visible–near-infrared (NIR), high-spectral-resolution, ground-based extremely large telescope (ELT) instruments. However, the prospects for using ELTs to detect environmental properties that provide context...
