The discovery of planet Gliese 581 g has provided a planet with an estimated mass 3 to 5 times that of Earth, that is apparently squarely in the "Habitable Zone" around its parent star. However, many factors contribute to planetary habitability, and a position within the habitable zone does not guarantee that the planet is able to support liquid water on its surface. In this work the NASA Astrobiology Institute's Virtual Planetary Laboratory lead team uses the known constraints for this planetary system to provide an interdisciplinary analysis of the degree to which Gliese 581 g is likely to be habitable. Making the assumption that Gliese 581 g can support liquid water at its surface, we additionally calculate and predict a plausible range of planetary characteristics, and reflectivity and emission spectra, for the planet.
