Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Abstract
This white paper reviews the scientific community's ability to use data from future telescopes to search for life on exoplanets. It summarizes products from the Exoplanet Biosignatures Workshop Without Walls (EBWWW). This effort led to papers that constituted the Exoplanet Analysis Group's (ExoPAG) 16th Science Assessment Group (SAG 16).
