life on other planets

Post by Jonathan »

A bit of a fluffy news article about doing computer simulations of orbits and star composition to determine planet habitability, and then using an iterative process to design lifeforms suited for that planet. I'm trying to find some of the original research, like this paper, Habitability of Planets Around Red Dwarf Stars, but I can only find abstracts. What I'd really like to find is the software they used.

It's amazing what some thorough googling will achieve.
