Tides Tighten the Hycean Habitable Zone
Hycean planets—exoplanets with substantial water ice layers, deep surface oceans, and hydrogen-rich atmospheres—are thought to be favorable environments for life. Due to a relative paucity of atmospheric greenhouse gases, hycean planets have been thought to have wider habitable zones (HZs) than Eart...
