Inferring chemical disequilibrium biosignatures for Proterozoic Earth-like exoplanets
Nature Astronomy, Published online: 22 January 2024; doi:10.1038/s41550-023-02145-z
Chemical disequilibrium is a known biosignature, and it is important to determine the conditions for its remote detection. A thermodynamical model coupled with atmospheric retrieval shows that a disequilibrium can be inferred for a Proterozoic Earth-like exoplanet in reflected light at a high O2/CH4 abundance case and signal-to-noise ratio of 50.
