Bibliografia – Giuseppe Galletta Astrofisico

Articoli e libri consultati per i vari capitoli

Nel seguito sono elencati alcuni articoli scientifici e libri consultati per la versione 2021 del libro “Astrobiologia”. In buona parte si tratta di articoli specialistici non adatti per il pubblico, in riviste che sono accessibili dalle biblioteche universitarie in forma cartacea o digitale o su abbonamento. Alcune sono tuttavia rilasciate in maniera “aperta”, e sono raggiungibili col link indicato alla fine di ogni voce dell’elenco. La scritta Web al posto del nome dell’autore indica che si tratta di una recensione a cui non corrisponde una pubblicazione. Ogni voce indica: Nome degli autori, anno di pubblicazione, titolo, rivista o volume con numero volume e pagina, editore, collegamento DOI (Digital Object Identifier).

In generale, si è fatto riferimento al libro: G. Galletta, V., Sergi, 2005, Astrobiologia: le frontiere della vita, Hoepli,
