The Venus Benchmark: Resolving Degeneracies in Terrestrial Exoplanet Spectra with DAVINCI
Stephen R. Kane, David S. Alexander, Shahid Aslam +8
The characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with thick, CO-dominated atmospheres via transmission and emission spectroscopy is limited by degeneracies between atmospheric co…
Panchromatic Spectra of Nearby Low-mass and Sun-like Stars with Directly Imageable Habitable Zones
Sarah Peacock, Breanna A. Binder, Edward W. Schwieterman +4
Characterizing the high-energy radiation environments of stars plays a critical role in determining which systems' planets are capable of retaining atmospheres and sustaining habit…
Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…
The False Spin of an Exo-Venus
Stephen R. Kane
Direct imaging of terrestrial exoplanets will enable rotational and atmospheric characterization through time-resolved photometry and high-dispersion spectroscopy. However, the vel…
X-ray Emission and Stellar Ages of Sun-Like Stars
Breanna A. Binder, Edward W. Schwieterman, Alison Farrish +4
We present an analysis of XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of 85 nearby main-sequence FGK stars with age estimates ranging from 0.2-12 Gyr. We measure quiescent 0.3-10 keV lumin…
Seasonal Insolation Variability on Early Venus: Implications for Energy Budget
Stephen R. Kane
Venus and Earth are similar in bulk properties yet followed dramatically different climatic trajectories. Reconstructing Venus's climate evolution requires understanding how rotati…
Imaging Venus-like Worlds: Spectral, Polarimetric, and UV Diagnostics for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Stephen R. Kane, Kimberly M. Bott, Kenneth E. Goodis Gordon +15
Understanding planetary habitability requires a comparative approach that explores the divergent evolutionary outcomes of Earth and Venus. The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) wi…
