论文摘要

自从发现第一个确认的系外行星以来,观察结果揭示了世界各地的多样性。在系外行星的种群中检测到了各种各样的轨道和物理特征,并且已经致力于决定这些行星中的哪一个可能适合生命。但是,到目前为止,很少有工作专门用于决定实际上可能存在哪个潜在的可居住行星\ textit {worth}。为此,我们介绍了真正可居住的区域(RHZ),该区域被定义为可接受的杜松子酒和滋补的恒星周围的区域。与该领域的大部分工作相同,我们始终依靠这些假设,即使不是不可能进行测试,也可以提出一些天文学家可以在自己的谈话中使用的图,并剥夺了所有警告。我们建议,真正宜居区的行星是JWST的早期目标,因为到那时最终推出的时候,我们都将需要喝一杯。

Since the discovery of the first confirmed exoplanet, observations have revealed a remarkable diversity of worlds. A wide variety of orbital and physical characteristics are detected in the exoplanet population, and much work has been devoted to deciding which of these planets may be suitable for life. Until now, though, little work has been devoted to deciding which of the potentially habitable planets might actually be \textit{worth} existing on. To this end, we present the Really Habitable Zone (RHZ), defined as the region around a star where acceptable gins and tonic are likely to be abundant. In common with much of the work in the field, we rely throughout on assumptions which are difficult if not impossible to test and present some plots which astronomers can use in their own talks, stripped of all caveats. We suggest that planets in the Really Habitable Zone be early targets for the JWST, because by the time that thing finally launches we're all going to need a drink.
