COSMIC HABITABILITY

The paper entitled "The quest for cradles of life: using the fundamental metallicity relation to hunt for the most habitable type of galaxy", accepted for publication in ApJ letters (http://arxiv.org/abs/1507.04346), has attracted wide media attention: In this paper, we have developed the first formalism that allows us to go through more than a hundred thousand galaxies in the local Universe to answer the question "Which type of galaxy is most suitable for hosting life in the cosmos"? This is possibly the first work that puts astrobiology into the context of the cosmos as a whole. Combining both our understanding of habitability and galaxy evolution, our results indicate that metal-rich, star-formation devoid, shapeless giant elliptical galaxies at least twice as massive as the Milky Way can potentially host ten thousand times as many habitable planets, making them the most probable "cradles of life" in the Universe.

​

• Best cosmic cradles of life may elliptical in shape

• Giant old galaxies, not Milky Ways, are best for life to thrive

• Giant galaxies may be better cradles for habitable planets 

• Which galaxies are the most habitable?

• Is there life out there?

• Searching for the most habitable galaxies

• Move over Milky Way, elliptical galaxies are the most habitable in the cosmos
