Frontiers of Astrobiology
Astrobiology is an exciting interdisciplinary field that seeks to answer one of the
most important and profound questions: Are we alone?
In this volume, leading international experts explore the frontiers of astrobiology,
investigating the latest research questions that will fascinate a wide interdisciplinary
audience at all levels. What is the earliest evidence for life on Earth? Where are the
most likely sites for life in the Solar System? Could life have evolved elsewhere in the
Galaxy? What are the best strategies for detecting intelligent extraterrestrial life?
How many habitable or Earth-like exoplanets are there?
Progress in astrobiology over the past decade has been rapid and, with evidence
accumulating that Mars once hosted standing bodies of liquid water, the discovery
of over
700
exoplanets, and new insights into how life began on Earth, the scientific
search for our origins and place in the cosmos continues. The book is based on a
meeting at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, which gathered leading researchers to
present state-of-the-art reviews on their research and address topics at the forefront
of astrobiology.
CHRIS IMPEY is a University Distinguished Professor and Deputy Head of the Depart¬
ment of Astronomy at the University of Arizona, Tucson. His research interests are
observational cosmology, gravitational Iensing, and the evolution and structure
of galaxies. He is a past Vice President of the American Astronomical Society, a
Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and has been
NSF Distinguished Teaching Scholar, Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scholar, and the
Carnegie Council on Teaching s Arizona Professor of the Year.
JONATHAN LUNINE is the David
С
Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences in the
Department of Astronomy at Cornell University. His research interests center broadly
on planetary origin and evolution, in our Solar System and around other stars. He
is an interdisciplinary scientist on the
Cassini
mission to Saturn, and on the James
Webb Telescope, as well as on the Juno mission to Jupiter. He is the author of over
250
papers and is a member of the US National Academy of Sciences, as well as a
Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
JOSÉ FUNES
is a Jesuit priest, Director of the Vatican Observatory, and member of the
Pontifical Academy of Sciences. His field of research includes kinematics and dynam¬
ics of disk galaxies and star formation in the local universe. He proposed the Study
Week on Astrobiology that was organized by the Pontifical Academy of Science and
held in Casina
Pio
IV of the Vatican City State in November
2009,
which led to this
volume.
