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…
Uncertainties in Low-Count STIS Spectra
Joshua D. Lothringer, Leonardo dos Santos, Joleen Carlberg +2
We evaluate uncertainty calculations in the calstis pipeline for data in the low-count regime. Due to the low dark rate and read-noise free nature of MAMA detectors, observations o…
Toward a 2D H I Map of the Local Interstellar Medium
Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, Tommi Koskinen +9
Obtaining a complete census of gas in the local interstellar medium (<100 pc) is challenging given the limited available tracers of the warm, partially-ionized medium. Medium-to-hi…
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…
Vertical structure of an exoplanet's atmospheric jet stream
Julia V. Seidel, Bibiana Prinoth, Lorenzo Pino +21
Ultra-hot Jupiters, an extreme class of planets not found in our solar system, provide a unique window into atmospheric processes. The extreme temperature contrasts between their d…
