We apply these criteria to study the UV habitable zone for those extrasolar planetary systems that were observed by the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). We analyze the possibility that extrasolar planets and moons could be suitable for life, according to the UV constrains presented in this...
We present a review of the interplay between the evolution of circumstellar disks and the formation of planets, both from the perspective of theoretical mo
