1 00:00:10,930 --> 00:00:08,710 we heard a lot of talks in the morning 2 00:00:12,879 --> 00:00:10,940 which spoke about you know the number of 3 00:00:14,109 --> 00:00:12,889 exoplanets being detected recently so 4 00:00:16,779 --> 00:00:14,119 hundreds of exoplanets have been 5 00:00:19,810 --> 00:00:16,789 detected with over 2500 planet 6 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:19,820 candidates with Kepler and Kepler is 7 00:00:26,020 --> 00:00:22,370 designed to give you the frequency of a 8 00:00:27,550 --> 00:00:26,030 particular planet around a star so what 9 00:00:46,140 --> 00:00:27,560 it does that it doesn't characterize you 10 00:00:50,310 --> 00:00:48,870 so here's a plot which tells tells you 11 00:00:52,979 --> 00:00:50,320 about the plant occurrence as a function 12 00:00:54,930 --> 00:00:52,989 of time radius and orbital period and it 13 00:00:57,450 --> 00:00:54,940 accounts for the observational biases so 14 00:00:59,190 --> 00:00:57,460 what we now know is that you do have a 15 00:01:01,799 --> 00:00:59,200 lot of large planets the size of Jupiter 16 00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:01,809 but you also have even more larger 17 00:01:06,469 --> 00:01:04,300 larger sized planets which of the size 18 00:01:08,940 --> 00:01:06,479 of Neptune and you have even more 19 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:08,950 planets which are the size of Earth 20 00:01:14,700 --> 00:01:11,130 indicated by this color code so red here 21 00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:14,710 red here actually means you know how 22 00:01:19,499 --> 00:01:17,020 your planet frequency and green is 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:19,509 towards the lower side and with 24 00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:22,170 increasing sensitivities one you know we 25 00:01:25,770 --> 00:01:23,860 foresee that there will be a lot more 26 00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:25,780 planets to us this area where you have 27 00:01:30,510 --> 00:01:27,820 higher orbital periods and lower 28 00:01:32,670 --> 00:01:30,520 planetary masses the interesting point 29 00:01:33,930 --> 00:01:32,680 here is that even with Kepler candidates 30 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:33,940 a lot of these planets are thought to 31 00:01:39,180 --> 00:01:35,530 lie in the habitable zone of the parent 32 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:39,190 star so which wants to be looked for 33 00:01:42,870 --> 00:01:40,810 first which wants to be characterized 34 00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:42,880 for potential habitability and see if 35 00:01:49,290 --> 00:01:45,729 they are indeed inhabited and that's 36 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:49,300 where my talk really comes so we know 37 00:01:54,449 --> 00:01:50,890 that spectroscopy gives you detailed 38 00:01:56,669 --> 00:01:54,459 information in regard to this surface in 39 00:01:58,650 --> 00:01:56,679 the atmosphere of a planet but the 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:01:58,660 downside is that it's time consuming and 41 00:02:03,449 --> 00:02:00,130 it's expensive 42 00:02:05,339 --> 00:02:03,459 so what I want to do here is use filter 43 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:05,349 photometer II where it's the amount of 44 00:02:09,419 --> 00:02:08,050 flux that you you know you collect from 45 00:02:12,809 --> 00:02:09,429 the source and you split it into 46 00:02:15,150 --> 00:02:12,819 different rod bay broad bands and color 47 00:02:18,420 --> 00:02:15,160 basically means the comparison of one 48 00:02:20,699 --> 00:02:18,430 such band against the other photometric 49 00:02:23,220 --> 00:02:20,709 is a good tool to give you initial first 50 00:02:24,839 --> 00:02:23,230 order approximation we know from the 51 00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:24,849 earth that different surfaces have got 52 00:02:29,339 --> 00:02:26,590 characteristic reflectivities or albedo 53 00:02:30,570 --> 00:02:29,349 s-- what I want to see is if I can you 54 00:02:32,790 --> 00:02:30,580 know remotely characterize these 55 00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:32,800 different surfaces and if I can build a 56 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:36,489 link to biology colors have often been 57 00:02:39,990 --> 00:02:38,410 used color color diagrams have often 58 00:02:41,580 --> 00:02:40,000 been used in galaxy astrophysics for 59 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:41,590 instance to differentiate the different 60 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:43,360 kinds of galaxies be it elliptical or 61 00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:45,130 spiral galaxies also in stellar 62 00:02:48,900 --> 00:02:46,510 astrophysics to differentiate the 63 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:48,910 different types of stars one can 64 00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:50,890 actually do this for planets as well so 65 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:54,310 here is a plot of you know the green - 66 00:02:59,309 --> 00:02:57,010 red filter against blue- green which 67 00:02:59,610 --> 00:02:59,319 Wesley draw from JPL did some time back 68 00:03:03,660 --> 00:02:59,620 and 69 00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:03,670 classify the rocky surfaces probably 70 00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:05,650 because they you know reflect dusty 71 00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:07,750 surfaces more in the near infrared bands 72 00:03:14,039 --> 00:03:10,480 they tend to group together in the red 73 00:03:16,050 --> 00:03:14,049 red plot of this color color diagram gas 74 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:16,060 shines which have clear atmospheres tend 75 00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:18,250 to group together in the blue blue part 76 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:21,489 of the color color diagram and then you 77 00:03:25,050 --> 00:03:23,170 have these gas giants with the cloudy 78 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:25,060 atmosphere clouds and Hayes's which 79 00:03:30,990 --> 00:03:29,170 prevent the prevent the colors prevent 80 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:31,000 the colors methane colors from taking 81 00:03:35,610 --> 00:03:33,760 over and they group together in this 82 00:03:37,740 --> 00:03:35,620 green green plot of this diagram and 83 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:37,750 then you have Venus and Earth which you 84 00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:40,000 know have their own color space what I 85 00:03:44,580 --> 00:03:42,430 want to do now is focus on a new earth 86 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:44,590 analog for the different environments no 87 00:03:49,500 --> 00:03:46,450 no no that's support extreme forms of 88 00:03:51,599 --> 00:03:49,510 life why do I consider extremophiles 89 00:03:53,940 --> 00:03:51,609 while they define they give you a wide 90 00:03:56,430 --> 00:03:53,950 definition of for life create physical 91 00:03:58,589 --> 00:03:56,440 or chemical extremes and they inhabit 92 00:04:02,069 --> 00:03:58,599 extreme niches so you can think of the 93 00:04:05,069 --> 00:04:02,079 earth as a zoo bound by a fence of 94 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:05,079 physical and chemical extremes and you 95 00:04:10,020 --> 00:04:07,810 can mean anything inside of this region 96 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:10,030 you could you could be fish of or 97 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:12,310 elephants or mammals you know any sort 98 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:14,169 of mammals but as you travels towards 99 00:04:17,849 --> 00:04:16,090 the boundaries all these complex 100 00:04:20,550 --> 00:04:17,859 organisms fall out and you have simple 101 00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:20,560 microorganisms outside of this fence of 102 00:04:24,900 --> 00:04:22,870 of course I mean a chemist biochemistry 103 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:24,910 breaks down and you know biomolecules 104 00:04:31,980 --> 00:04:30,250 denature but at these limits so you have 105 00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:31,990 these so you could consider a limit you 106 00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:34,000 consider case where you have high ph and 107 00:04:37,830 --> 00:04:36,520 temperature like like the case of the 108 00:04:40,500 --> 00:04:37,840 octopus spring at Yellowstone National 109 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:40,510 Park and we believe that certain 110 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:42,970 exoplanets or rocky exoplanets outside 111 00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:45,010 of the solar system might potentially 112 00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:47,940 have these environmental conditions and 113 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:51,849 so therefore one could use this as a 114 00:04:57,810 --> 00:04:54,130 strategy to prioritize targets you know 115 00:04:59,400 --> 00:04:57,820 when compared to the earth so these are 116 00:05:01,379 --> 00:04:59,410 different kinds of physical or chemical 117 00:05:03,689 --> 00:05:01,389 extremes that have considered and I 118 00:05:06,689 --> 00:05:03,699 don't expect you to necessarily look at 119 00:05:10,260 --> 00:05:06,699 it but let's take an example here so I 120 00:05:11,670 --> 00:05:10,270 take salinity and desiccation now most 121 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:11,680 of the organisms that we know of on 122 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:13,330 earth live in subsurface conditions 123 00:05:16,230 --> 00:05:14,530 there's a measure to protect themselves 124 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:16,240 or a means to gain access to the 125 00:05:20,550 --> 00:05:18,250 required nutrients so when you look at 126 00:05:23,189 --> 00:05:20,560 these surfaces remotely you don't really 127 00:05:24,659 --> 00:05:23,199 look at Salt Lick you don't really look 128 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:24,669 at the microorganisms but what you 129 00:05:29,159 --> 00:05:26,530 actually detect is the reflectivity or 130 00:05:32,730 --> 00:05:29,169 albedo of salt lakes or deserts in this 131 00:05:35,610 --> 00:05:32,740 case so here's an example where you have 132 00:05:38,249 --> 00:05:35,620 crypto and elliptic lichens which are 133 00:05:40,290 --> 00:05:38,259 inhabited sandstones so what you 134 00:05:43,469 --> 00:05:40,300 actually see is the reflection spectra 135 00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:43,479 of a sand covered earth and here you 136 00:05:48,029 --> 00:05:46,030 have hallow files which are living in 137 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:48,039 salt mines and again you see the 138 00:05:52,709 --> 00:05:51,250 reflectivities of a salt cover I mean 139 00:05:54,869 --> 00:05:52,719 this is a sand covered earth and this 140 00:05:58,230 --> 00:05:54,879 one is a salt covered earth so basically 141 00:06:01,999 --> 00:05:58,240 and this is an example of you know the 142 00:06:05,999 --> 00:06:02,009 flux being bin in different colors so 143 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:06,009 I've taken a class here from 0.94 to 0.9 144 00:06:11,850 --> 00:06:07,930 microns so basically that's four 145 00:06:13,679 --> 00:06:11,860 thousand to nine thousand microns so I 146 00:06:17,159 --> 00:06:13,689 consider different surfaces on earth 147 00:06:19,529 --> 00:06:17,169 which are you know support extreme forms 148 00:06:20,969 --> 00:06:19,539 of life I have also included 149 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:20,979 extremophiles where the reflection 150 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:22,810 spectra is available in literature so I 151 00:06:27,450 --> 00:06:24,370 have the reflection spectrum of great 152 00:06:29,430 --> 00:06:27,460 cold algae algae water where you have 153 00:06:32,159 --> 00:06:29,440 red algae coating rocks what 10 154 00:06:35,129 --> 00:06:32,169 centimeter below the surface of acid 155 00:06:38,490 --> 00:06:35,139 mine drainage as a test case I have this 156 00:06:40,469 --> 00:06:38,500 I have the I have the reflection spectra 157 00:06:42,329 --> 00:06:40,479 of light lichens which are desiccation 158 00:06:44,129 --> 00:06:42,339 resistant organisms and I have the 159 00:06:46,409 --> 00:06:44,139 reflection specter of bacterial mat 160 00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:46,419 which is made up of two photosynthetic 161 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:49,150 bacteria this the sign of bacterium 162 00:06:53,249 --> 00:06:51,490 cynic office and porous and a bacterium 163 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:53,259 flora flexus found at Yellowstone 164 00:06:58,350 --> 00:06:55,650 National Park I've also included the 165 00:07:00,600 --> 00:06:58,360 reflection specter of pls for vegetation 166 00:07:02,129 --> 00:07:00,610 red edge which is often looked at by 167 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:02,139 different groups for remote signatures 168 00:07:08,339 --> 00:07:05,289 of life and plotting and when plotting 169 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:08,349 and then when I the basic assumptions 170 00:07:12,059 --> 00:07:10,330 that I make is that the atmosphere is 171 00:07:13,829 --> 00:07:12,069 see-through so there's no clouds and 172 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:13,839 Hayes's although there's a way to get 173 00:07:19,170 --> 00:07:17,770 around that i assume that the atmosphere 174 00:07:22,170 --> 00:07:19,180 does not substantially change with 175 00:07:24,389 --> 00:07:22,180 differing atmospheres and for starters i 176 00:07:26,370 --> 00:07:24,399 assume that the whole planet is covered 177 00:07:27,300 --> 00:07:26,380 by a particular surface for general 178 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:27,310 detectability 179 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:29,290 so because if I cannot detect it when 180 00:07:32,430 --> 00:07:30,970 it's 100% covered by a particular 181 00:07:33,810 --> 00:07:32,440 surface if I cannot characterize it 182 00:07:38,610 --> 00:07:33,820 remotely then I cannot do it for any 183 00:07:40,379 --> 00:07:38,620 other combination also a you know small 184 00:07:42,270 --> 00:07:40,389 changes in physical or chemical extremes 185 00:07:45,710 --> 00:07:42,280 can make a particular surface dominate 186 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:45,720 and therefore this assumption holds true 187 00:07:50,909 --> 00:07:48,730 so on plotting a similar color color 188 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:50,919 diagram but this time I'm not using 189 00:07:56,220 --> 00:07:53,250 customized filters like dropped it but 190 00:08:00,480 --> 00:07:56,230 what I did instead was use standard 191 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:00,490 filters from 0.4 2.9 microns we see that 192 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:03,130 these different or surfaces grouped 193 00:08:09,090 --> 00:08:04,690 together in different areas of the plot 194 00:08:11,510 --> 00:08:09,100 so you have red algae which are you know 195 00:08:14,010 --> 00:08:11,520 in Assam by drainage group together with 196 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:14,020 this data point from acid mine drainage 197 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:16,930 you have rocks with support and all its 198 00:08:21,210 --> 00:08:18,010 grouped together in this part of the 199 00:08:24,030 --> 00:08:21,220 spectrum what's interesting is that you 200 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:24,040 don't have lichens bacterial mud and red 201 00:08:28,590 --> 00:08:25,810 algae you know grouped together with 202 00:08:32,219 --> 00:08:28,600 trees one possible reason is that 203 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:32,229 lichens a composite organisms made of 204 00:08:38,579 --> 00:08:36,010 fungi and either cyanobacteria more 205 00:08:42,630 --> 00:08:38,589 green algae so the red edge for lichens 206 00:08:45,930 --> 00:08:42,640 red are sloping as as as compared to you 207 00:08:48,300 --> 00:08:45,940 know normal vegetation bacterias mat on 208 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:48,310 the other hand they are covered by four 209 00:08:51,780 --> 00:08:50,410 ten centimeter of water and therefore 210 00:08:54,030 --> 00:08:51,790 you have strong water absorption 211 00:08:56,579 --> 00:08:54,040 features long word 0.72 microns and 212 00:08:58,770 --> 00:08:56,589 therefore the reflectivity of battir mat 213 00:09:02,130 --> 00:08:58,780 in this case differs from that of trees 214 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:02,140 for instance the other point to notice 215 00:09:06,030 --> 00:09:05,290 that the data point for all of these 216 00:09:08,220 --> 00:09:06,040 four is synthetic 217 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:08,230 all of these organisms having 218 00:09:12,329 --> 00:09:09,850 photosynthetic pigments is only valid 219 00:09:14,010 --> 00:09:12,339 around a sun-like star an earth-like 220 00:09:16,020 --> 00:09:14,020 planet around a sun-like star because if 221 00:09:18,660 --> 00:09:16,030 you move go towards a hotter star then 222 00:09:20,490 --> 00:09:18,670 the blackbody spectrum Peaks in the blue 223 00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:20,500 part of the spectrum and therefore trees 224 00:09:23,490 --> 00:09:22,000 will start reflecting in the blue to 225 00:09:25,170 --> 00:09:23,500 avoid overheating and therefore they 226 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:25,180 might look blue in color if you go 227 00:09:29,070 --> 00:09:27,490 towards the coolest are the blackbody 228 00:09:30,870 --> 00:09:29,080 spectrum of the star peaks in the 229 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:30,880 infrared bands and therefore trees 230 00:09:34,020 --> 00:09:32,770 there's very little in the visible and 231 00:09:36,090 --> 00:09:34,030 therefore trees will absorb throughout 232 00:09:38,070 --> 00:09:36,100 or any pigment chlorophyll pick if it 233 00:09:39,690 --> 00:09:38,080 has chlorophyll or like pigment will 234 00:09:42,980 --> 00:09:39,700 absorb in the entire visible band and 235 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:42,990 therefore they might have pea black ink 236 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:46,570 one can then basically relate these 237 00:09:51,990 --> 00:09:48,850 different surfaces to the kind of 238 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:52,000 organisms or the kind of extremophiles 239 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:54,610 that's that they are supporting for 240 00:09:59,730 --> 00:09:57,970 anaerobic anaerobic atmosphere which can 241 00:10:02,550 --> 00:09:59,740 help in spectroscopy because then you 242 00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:02,560 know which bands to look at also we know 243 00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:05,200 that the earth has been anaerobic for 244 00:10:08,759 --> 00:10:06,399 parts of the history of life we don't 245 00:10:10,079 --> 00:10:08,769 want present-day earth you have niches 246 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:10,089 which support only anaerobic 247 00:10:14,130 --> 00:10:12,130 environments and therefore you can build 248 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:14,140 a link with aerobic and what organisms 249 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:17,290 an anaerobic organisms with the 250 00:10:24,690 --> 00:10:22,570 environment that it its inhabiting but 251 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:24,700 the whole point of this talk and the 252 00:10:30,780 --> 00:10:27,610 work was to find exoplanet candidates 253 00:10:32,850 --> 00:10:30,790 for prioritization I want to know which 254 00:10:34,500 --> 00:10:32,860 earth-like planets to look for first 255 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:34,510 which wants to characterize because 256 00:10:41,340 --> 00:10:37,810 remember that spectroscopy so future 257 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:41,350 missions likes like for instance echo or 258 00:10:45,660 --> 00:10:44,050 or any any other characterizing mission 259 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:45,670 will have only a handful of planets to 260 00:10:49,650 --> 00:10:47,410 look at first which ones which should we 261 00:10:52,710 --> 00:10:49,660 look at Kepler has detected hundreds and 262 00:10:54,329 --> 00:10:52,720 thousands of planets tests the NASA 263 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:54,339 based mission will also do that but 264 00:10:58,290 --> 00:10:55,890 which one should we look for first 265 00:11:00,420 --> 00:10:58,300 so I started considering mixed surfaces 266 00:11:03,210 --> 00:11:00,430 but following my initial assumption of a 267 00:11:05,819 --> 00:11:03,220 particular surface dominating I kept one 268 00:11:08,009 --> 00:11:05,829 surface as the dominating surface and 269 00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:08,019 kept increasing the surface content for 270 00:11:11,790 --> 00:11:09,310 water because water as we know is 271 00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:11,800 required for habitability so I think I 272 00:11:17,090 --> 00:11:14,079 took the whole parameter space from 0 to 273 00:11:20,189 --> 00:11:17,100 100 for water and what we see is that 274 00:11:21,569 --> 00:11:20,199 even when we increase the water and when 275 00:11:23,069 --> 00:11:21,579 we consider in these mixed surfaces 276 00:11:25,579 --> 00:11:23,079 although you have degenerate surfaces 277 00:11:28,590 --> 00:11:25,589 here they all fall in this tight band 278 00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:28,600 which I call region one defined as 279 00:11:34,100 --> 00:11:31,690 extreme Earth's when I increase when I 280 00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:34,110 consider non extreme forms of life these 281 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:36,640 this region expands to reaching to which 282 00:11:43,079 --> 00:11:40,930 I call then this habitable region so 283 00:11:44,850 --> 00:11:43,089 what do we have now so if I have two 284 00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:44,860 data points which are located here and 285 00:11:49,410 --> 00:11:47,529 here although this point is interesting 286 00:11:52,290 --> 00:11:49,420 we have no reference to compare with 287 00:11:53,699 --> 00:11:52,300 that to on earth you know so therefore 288 00:11:55,079 --> 00:11:53,709 this data point will get a higher 289 00:11:57,689 --> 00:11:55,089 priority for follow-up 290 00:11:59,790 --> 00:11:57,699 spectroscopy but if you have two data 291 00:12:01,769 --> 00:11:59,800 points over here and here then higher 292 00:12:04,079 --> 00:12:01,779 priority will be given to any data point 293 00:12:05,670 --> 00:12:04,089 which is towards the lower left on left 294 00:12:08,189 --> 00:12:05,680 lower left corner of the plot because 295 00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:08,199 that would indicate higher free liquid 296 00:12:13,259 --> 00:12:10,529 water on the surface because remember 297 00:12:23,129 --> 00:12:13,269 liquid water falls towards the bottom of 298 00:12:26,009 --> 00:12:23,139 the panel and yeah so basically colors 299 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:26,019 are useful in priorities prioritizing 300 00:12:30,929 --> 00:12:29,050 targets they help you build a link 301 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:30,939 between environmental conditions and 302 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:33,970 life they can also be used although I've 303 00:12:39,989 --> 00:12:38,290 used organisms which are thriving in a 304 00:12:41,939 --> 00:12:39,999 particular physical or chemical extreme 305 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:41,949 one can use this for poly extremophiles 306 00:12:46,499 --> 00:12:44,290 which can live in multiple environmental 307 00:12:49,049 --> 00:12:46,509 extremes or any new organisms found in 308 00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:49,059 you niches the important thing to 309 00:12:53,009 --> 00:12:50,889 remember to note here is that this does 310 00:12:54,989 --> 00:12:53,019 not tell you whether there is life or 311 00:12:57,689 --> 00:12:54,999 not what it tells you is that a 312 00:13:00,480 --> 00:12:57,699 particular candidate or a planet is it 313 00:13:04,379 --> 00:13:00,490 useful for following up and therefore 314 00:13:07,410 --> 00:13:04,389 spectroscopy with this method is useful 315 00:13:08,970 --> 00:13:07,420 for determining the overall habitability 316 00:13:11,220 --> 00:13:08,980 or potential habitability of the planet 317 00:13:33,950 --> 00:13:11,230 and also see if the planet is indeed 318 00:13:38,910 --> 00:13:36,990 yeah the question is if I have thought 319 00:13:40,260 --> 00:13:38,920 of including clouds in Hayes's in my 320 00:13:43,380 --> 00:13:40,270 model yes that's something I've been 321 00:13:45,060 --> 00:13:43,390 currently working on so I spoke about I 322 00:13:46,860 --> 00:13:45,070 said that it's difficult if there are 323 00:13:50,700 --> 00:13:46,870 clouds and haze is in the model so 324 00:13:53,340 --> 00:13:50,710 basically if that problem only arises if 325 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:53,350 there's 100% cloud coverage you know 326 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:54,970 then you cannot really see anything but 327 00:13:59,190 --> 00:13:56,290 even if you don't even if you have say 328 00:14:00,329 --> 00:13:59,200 90% clouds there's a research group in 329 00:14:02,550 --> 00:14:00,339 in Spain 330 00:14:05,519 --> 00:14:02,560 enric polish group which has recently 331 00:14:07,079 --> 00:14:05,529 showed that if you get a high enough 332 00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:07,089 signal to noise ratio every one 333 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:09,100 twentieth of the planets rotation if you 334 00:14:13,380 --> 00:14:11,770 have say high time resolution and you 335 00:14:14,579 --> 00:14:13,390 have high enough signal to noise ratio 336 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:14,589 every one point here that plants 337 00:14:19,050 --> 00:14:16,210 rotation one can basically integrate all 338 00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:19,060 these signals and construct the surfaces 339 00:14:24,690 --> 00:14:20,710 together using principal component 340 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:24,700 analysis so it's possible yeah so 341 00:14:29,790 --> 00:14:26,320 basically if you use clouds your 342 00:14:31,650 --> 00:14:29,800 reflectivities would increase but you 343 00:14:33,810 --> 00:14:31,660 know if you have you can you have these 344 00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:33,820 windows and therefore if you add them
