Innovative SiC ultraviolet instrumentation development with potential applications for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Prabal Saxena, Zeynep Dilli, Peter Snapp +27
In this paper, we detail recent and current work that is being carried out to fabricate and advance novel SiC UV instrumentation that is aimed at enabling more sensitive measuremen…
Current laboratory performance of starlight suppression systems, and potential pathways to desired Habitable Worlds Observatory exoplanet science capabilities
Bertrand Mennesson, Ruslan Belikov, Emiel Por +34
We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20 % bandwidth) contrast performance demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems des…
Mitigating Worst-Case Exozodiacal Dust Structure in High-contrast Images of Earth-like Exoplanets
Miles H. Currie, Christopher C. Stark, Jens Kammerer +2
Detecting Earth-like exoplanets in direct images of nearby Sun-like systems brings a unique set of challenges that must be addressed in the early phases of designing a space-based…
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…
Visible extreme adaptive optics on extremely large telescopes: Towards detecting oxygen in Proxima Centauri b and analogs
J. Fowler, Sebastiaan Y. Haffert, Maaike A. M. van Kooten +38
Looking to the future of exo-Earth imaging from the ground, core technology developments are required in visible extreme adaptive optics (ExAO) to enable the observation of atmosph…
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…
