TY - JOUR AU - Estrada-Rodriguez, G. AU - González-Noa, A. AU - Cardenas, R. PY - 2019/12/14/ TI - On the Possibilities of Existence of Photosynthetic Life around Alpha Centauri B JF - Revista Cubana de Física; Vol 36 No 2 (2019) KW - N2 - We start with a brief description of the Alpha Centauri system and its main characteristics. Afterwards, we carry out calculations of several habitability metrics, such as the Π biological productivity and photosynthesis rates, in the oceans of the hypothetical exoplanets orbiting around Alpha Centauri B. By including a function of the temperature in a photosynthetic model, we describe the behavior of the metrics mentioned above for organisms with prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that could potentially live in these exoplanets.   UR - https://revistacubanadefisica.org/index.php/rcf/article/view?path=
