Spectral Fingerprints of Earth-like Planets Around FGK Stars

Sasselov, Dimitar; Kaltenegger, Lisa; Rugheimer, Sarah +2 more

We present model atmospheres for an Earth-like planet orbiting the entire grid of main sequence FGK stars with effective temperatures ranging from Teff = 4250K to Teff = 7000K in 250K intervals. We model the remotely detectable spectra of Earth-like planets for clear and cloudy atmospheres at the 1AU equivalent distance from the VIS to IR (0.4 {\m…
