Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The paper summarizes 70 science cases for the proposed NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory, outlining the observational needs across four scientific pillars and detailing required ca…
Novel Chemical Pathways for the Formation of Nucleobase Precursors via Benzene Ï-Bond Addition to HCN
Jeehyun Yang, Danica J. Adams, Renyu Hu +1
We propose a simple and efficient pathway for the formation of precursors to core nucleobases in DNA and RNA using a suite of computational chemistry methods. Benzene, which is the…
An Oxidation Gradient Straddling the Small Planet Radius Valley
Collin Cherubim, Robin Wordsworth, Dan Bower +3
We present a population-level view of volatile gas species (H, He, HO, O, CO, CO, CH) distribution during the sub-Neptune to rocky planet transition, revealing…
Reflected-light Phase Curves with PICASO: A Kepler-7b Case Study
Colin D. Hamill, Alexandria V. Johnson, Natasha Batalha +4
Examining reflected light from exoplanets aids in our understanding of the scattering properties of their atmospheres and will be a primary task of future flagship space- and groun…
Greenhouse warming potential of a suite of gas species on early Mars evaluated using a radiative-convective climate model
Jason Jorge, Robin Wordsworth, Danica Adams
Abundant geomorphological and geochemical evidence of liquid water on the surface of early Mars during the late Noachian and early Hesperian periods needs to be reconciled with a f…
