The Relationship Between Brightest Cluster Galaxy Star Formation and the Intracluster Medium in CLASH
Kevin Fogarty, Marc Postman, Rebecca Larson +2
We study the nature of feedback mechanisms in the 11 CLASH brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) that exhibit extended ultraviolet and nebular line emission features. We estimate star…
Evidence of Lensing of the Cosmic Microwave Background by Dark Matter Halos
Mathew Madhavacheril, Neelima Sehgal, Rupert Allison +40
We present evidence of the gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background by solar mass dark matter halos. Lensing convergence maps from the Atacama Cosmology T…
Chasing rainbows and ocean glints: Inner working angle constraints for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Sophia R. Vaughan, Timothy D. Gebhard, Kimberly Bott +41
NASA is engaged in planning for a Habitable Worlds Observatory (HabWorlds), a coronagraphic space mission to detect rocky planets in habitable zones and establish their habitabilit…
Integrated photonic-based coronagraphic systems for future space telescopes
Niyati Desai, Lorenzo König, Emiel Por +38
The detection and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets around Sun-like stars is a primary science motivation for the Habitable Worlds Observatory. However, the current best te…
NASA Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy (NASA-DARES 2025) White Paper -- Habitable Worlds Observatory Living Worlds Science Cases: Research Gaps and Needs
Niki Parenteau, Giada Arney, Eleanora Alei +28
Executive Summary: The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is the first astrophysics flagship mission with a key cross-divisional astrobiology science goal of searching for signs of…
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO): Living Worlds Community Working Group: The Search for Life on Potentially Habitable Exoplanets
Giada Arney, Niki Parenteau, Natalie Hinkel +25
The discovery of a biosphere on another planet would transform how we view ourselves, and our planet Earth, in relation to the rest of the cosmos. We now know Earth is one planet a…
