论文摘要
寻找超球星的寿命必须涵盖外部大气中反映的复杂地质过程,否则我们有可能报告假阳性和假阴性检测。为此,我们必须培养“ Exogeoscience”的新生学科,以完全整合天文学家,天体物理学家,地球科学家,海洋学家,大气化学家和生物学家。增加了跨学科研究计划的资金,支持现有和未来的多学科研究节点以及开发研究孵化器是将真正的外科科学从愿望转变为现实的关键。
The search for exoplanetary life must encompass the complex geological processes reflected in an exoplanet's atmosphere, or we risk reporting false positive and false negative detections. To do this, we must nurture the nascent discipline of "exogeoscience" to fully integrate astronomers, astrophysicists, geoscientists, oceanographers, atmospheric chemists and biologists. Increased funding for interdisciplinary research programs, supporting existing and future multidisciplinary research nodes, and developing research incubators is key to transforming true exogeoscience from an aspiration to a reality.
