a1falang, it is habitable with most atmospheres. Earth primordial atmosphere was very differenet from the current one.

coacervate: It is based on updating the models with the latest GW parameters. As it happens, they make progress on how to define HZ (irradiance is a rough indicator) and how the inner edge behaves for M stars. But one must read the paper IMO.
