The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS): Determining Inputs to Planetary Habitability
David R. Ardila, Evgenya Shkolnik, Paul Scowen +19
Seventy-five billion low-mass stars in our galaxy host at least one small planet in their habitable zone (HZ). The stellar ultraviolet (UV) radiation received by the planets is str…
Time-Resolved Photometry of the High-Energy Radiation of M Dwarfs with the Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS)
Tahina Ramiaramanantsoa, Judd D. Bowman, Evgenya L. Shkolnik +18
Know thy star, know thy planet,... especially in the ultraviolet (UV). Over the past decade, that motto has grown from mere wish to necessity in the M dwarf regime, given that the…
End-to-end ground calibration and in-flight performance of the FIREBall-2 instrument
Vincent Picouet, Bruno Milliard, Gillian Kyne +18
The payload of the Faint Intergalactic Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall-2), the second generation of the FIREBall instrument (PI: C. Martin, Caltech), has been calibrated and…
FIREBall-2: The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon Telescope
Erika Hamden, D. Christopher Martin, Bruno Milliard +31
The Faint Intergalactic Medium Redshifted Emission Balloon (FIREBall) is a mission designed to observe faint emission from the circumgalactic medium of moderate redshift (z~0.7) ga…
FIREBall-2: advancing TRL while doing proof-of-concept astrophysics on a suborbital platform
Erika T. Hamden, Keri Hoadley, D. Christopher Martin +32
Here we discuss advances in UV technology over the last decade, with an emphasis on photon counting, low noise, high efficiency detectors in sub-orbital programs. We focus on the u…
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS): A Mission to Understand the Impact of Stars in Exoplanets
David R. Ardila, Evgenya Shkolnik, Paul Scowen +14
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is a NASA-funded astrophysics mission, devoted to the study of the ultraviolet (UV) time-domain behavior in low-mass stars. Given…
