The Tidal Venus Phenomenon: Demographics and Case Studies
Stephen R. Kane, Emma L. Miles
The demographics of terrestrial planets and their orbits reveal a vast diversity in overall planetary energy budgets. Terrestrial exoplanets in short-period or eccentric orbits can…
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…
The Expected Yield of Venus Zone Terrestrial Planets from PLATO
Stephen R. Kane, Emma L. Miles, Colby M. Ostberg +2
The paper estimates that ESA's PLATO mission will detect roughly 170–280 terrestrial planets in the Venus Zone, including 40–80 Earth-size planets, by combining PLATO’s predicted y…
Mars as an Exoplanet: Lessons from a Planet at the Edge of Habitability
Stephen R. Kane, Paul K. Byrne, Skylar D'Angiolillo +5
Mars is the Solar System's canonical small, rocky planet that transitioned from early geologic activity and surface liquid water to a cold and arid planet with a thin, cold, CO…
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…
Planetesimal Scattering Efficiency of Cold Giant Planet Architectures
Stephen R. Kane, Emma L. Miles
The discovery of many exoplanets has revealed an incredible diversity of orbital architectures. These orbital configurations are intrinsically linked to the potential for habitable…
