Topics:
- Formation of terrestrial/habitable planets
- Water on Earth and in other Solar System bodies
- Methods of detecting habitable planets (RV, Transit, TTV, Microlensing, Astrometry) and mass determination
- Processes affecting close-in planets (tides, tidal-locking, radiation)
- Habitability and habitable zone
- Interior dynamics of habitable planets
- Atmospheric models and habitability
- Planetary magnetic field and its connection to habitability
- Prospects of the detection of biosignatures of extrasolar habitable planets
- Habitability in extreme planetary systems (e.g., systems with: multiple planets, giant planets in close-in and/or eccentric orbits, binary star systems, Habitable moons, Trojan planets)
