ESCAPE: a small explorer mission to study the stellar drivers of exoplanet evolution
Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, Brian Fleming +37
The long-term stability of exoplanetary atmospheres depends critically on the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) photon and high-energy particle fluxes from the host star, which are poorly…
Aerosols and hydrocarbons in the atmosphere of a white dwarf planet
Ryan J. MacDonald, Christopher E. O'Connor, Victoria A. Boehm +15
Most stars, including our Sun, will one day evolve into red giants and, subsequently, white dwarfs. Several planet candidates have recently been identified orbiting white dwarfs, d…
NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission: Simulating the Impact of Stellar Photospheric Heterogeneity and Its Correction
Benjamin V. Rackham, Aishwarya R. Iyer, Dániel Apai +28
Stellar photospheric heterogeneity is a dominant astrophysical systematic impacting exoplanet transmission spectroscopy. NASA's Pandora SmallSat Mission is designed to address this…
Are We There Yet? Challenges in Quantifying the Frequency of Earth Analogs in the Habitable Zone
Rachel B. Fernandes, Samson Johnson, Galen J. Bergsten +43
Searching for life elsewhere in the universe is one of the most highly prioritized pursuits in astronomy today. However, the ability to observe evidence of Earth-like life through…
LEO-Vetter: Fully Automated Flux- and Pixel-Level Vetting of TESS Planet Candidates to Support Occurrence Rates
Michelle Kunimoto, Steve Bryson, Drayson Jaffee +7
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has identified several thousand planet candidates orbiting a wide variety of stars, and has provided an exciting opportunity for de…
Technique-agnostic exoplanet demography for the Roman era -- I. Testing a demography retrieval framework using simulated Kepler-like transit datasets
Akshay Priyadarshi, Eamonn Kerins, Michael D. Albrow +41
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) will unveil for the first time the full architecture of planetary systems across Galactic distances through the discovery of up to 200…
