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…
Breaking the brightness barrier: JWST/NIRCam DHS spectroscopy for high-precision time-series observations
Achrene Dyrek, John Stansberry, Louis E. Bergeron +12
Many of the most scientifically compelling exoplanets orbit bright nearby stars that exceed the brightness limits of existing JWST spectroscopic observing modes. To address this li…
Characterizing Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheres in the 2030s with the Hubble Space Telescope
Joshua D. Lothringer, Hannah R. Wakeford, Robert C. Frazier +7
The Hubble Space Telescope inaugurated the era of exoplanet atmospheric characterization. While the James Webb Space Telescope has largely taken up the mantle of infrared atmospher…
The role of the Hubble Space Telescope in advancing our understanding of atmospheric escape in exoplanets
Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Arika Egan, Kevin France +14
An important evolutionary pathway for planetary atmospheres is escape to space, which has been studied on Earth and Mars for several decades and more recently in exoplanets. A part…
Charge Migration and Residual Non-Linearity in NIRSpec BOTS Observations
Munazza K. Alam, Leonardo Ubeda, Qinyan +3
We investigate the effect of charge migration and residual non-linearity on the JWST/NIRSpec G395H NRS1 and NRS2 detectors using Bright Object Time Series (BOTS) observations of th…
Analyzing Exoplanet Transits Observed with the WFC3/UVIS G280 Grism
Munazza K. Alam, Frederick Dauphin, Amanda Pagul
Here we describe a Jupyter notebook demonstrating methods for the reduction and analysis of exoplanet transit observations taken with the WFC3/UVIS G280 grism. Released on Space Te…
Exoplanet Atmospheric Escape Observations with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Eric D. Lopez, Luca Fossati +15
The Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020 highlights the importance of advancing research focused on discovering and characterizing habitable worlds. In line with this…
Standing on the Shoulders of Giants: A Comprehensive Spectroscopic Survey of Transiting & High-Contrast Giant Planets
Munazza K. Alam, Emily Rickman, Kielan Hoch +6
We propose a comprehensive survey of giant planets ranging from close-in highly irradiated hot Jupiters to young, wide-orbit directly imaged planets. The combination of two establi…
The Unrealised Interdisciplinary Advantage of Observing High Mass Transiting Exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs -- Strategic Exoplanet Initiatives with HST and JWST White Paper
Aarynn L. Carter, Munazza. K. Alam, Thomas Beatty +8
We advocate for further prioritisation of atmospheric characterisation observations of high mass transiting exoplanets and brown dwarfs. This population acts as a unique comparativ…
The Effect of Stellar Contamination on Low-resolution Transmission Spectroscopy: Needs Identified by NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Study Analysis Group 21
Benjamin V. Rackham, Néstor Espinoza, Svetlana V. Berdyugina +58
Study Analysis Group 21 (SAG21) of NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Analysis Group (ExoPAG) was organized to study the effect of stellar contamination on space-based transmissi…
