A target list for observing habitable exomoons

There is no confirmed exomoon discovery up to date, and a possible explanation for this is the lower probability of stable moon orbits around close-in planets which are often easier to observe (Barnes & O'Brien 2002). We provide a target list for observations listing known exoplanets which might host habitable moons on stable orbits. For this, we investigate the habitability of hypothethical moons that are on stable orbits around known exoplanets. To determine their habitability, we calculate the incident stellar radiation and the tidal heat flux that might arise in moons depending on their orbital and physical parameters. Our target list contains interesting observation targets which might help in detecting the first habitable exomoon.
