Color Catalogue of Life in Ice: Surface Biosignatures on Icy Worlds
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
Abstract: With thousands of discovered planets orbiting other stars and new missions that will explore our solar system, the search for life in the universe has entered a new era. However, a reference database to enable our search for life on the surface of icy exoplanets and exomoons by using records from Earth’s icy biota is missing. Therefore, we developed a spectra catalogue of life in ice to facilitate the search for extraterrestrial signs of life. We measured the reflection spectra of 80 microorganisms—with a wide range of pigments—isolated from ice and water. We show that carotenoid signatures are wide-ranged and intriguing signs of life. Our measurements allow for the identification of such surface life on icy extraterrestrial environments in preparation for observations with the upcoming ground- and space-based telescopes. Dried samples reveal even higher reflectance, which suggests that signatures of surface biota could be more intense on exoplanets and moons that are drier than Earth or on environments like Titan where potential life-forms may use a different solvent. Our spectral library covers the visible to near-infrared and is available online. It provides a guide for the search for surface life on icy worlds based on biota from Earth’s icy environments.

"w" stands for "week", measurement was collected after a week of drying time. "cal" identifies that the data has been calibrated as described in the methods section of the linked article and results section of Hegde et al. (2015). Raw Data - Folders organized by sample Filenames key: {month}.{day}.{sample identifier}.{dryness}.B.txt For sample dryness "f" stands for "fresh", measurement was collected while the sample was still wet from preparation. "w" stands for "week", measurement was collected after a week of drying time. "B" identifies the black background used during sample measurement which is calibrated for using data in the Reference Data folder. Reference Data - Folders organized by reference type Controls - calibrated control samples same filename format as calibrated data. Blank sample, fresh (f) and week old (w), with a black background. DarkReference - Measurements of the dark background used to hold samples. No sample, black background only. LightTrap - Measurement of the light trap. No background. TargetReference - Service file for the white reference used. WhiteReference - White reference measurements by date. White reference only.

Prédiction machine sur la base complète
Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
