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 Internal Nebular Attenuation Curve of Three-Dimensional Turbulent HII regions
Yifei Jin, Yong Shi, Ralph Sutherland +2
The internal dust attenuation of the Hii region reduces the observed emission-line fluxes. Turbulent density fields within each Hii region change the degree of the line-of-the-sigh…
Identifying rocky planets and water worlds among sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Renyu Hu, Michiel Min, Max Millar-Blanchaer +15
Astronomers are debating whether the plentiful "sub-Neptune" exoplanets -- worlds a bit larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune -- are predominantly rocky planets, water-rich "o…
Surrogate Modeling of Landau Damping with Deep Operator Networks
Simin Shekarpaz, Chuanfei Dong, Ziyu Huang
Kinetic simulations excel at capturing microscale plasma physics phenomena with high accuracy, but their computational demands make them impractical for modeling large-scale space…
First JWST thermal phase curves of temperate terrestrial exoplanets reveal no thick atmosphere around TRAPPIST-1 b and c
Michaël Gillon, Elsa Ducrot, Taylor J. Bell +30
We report JWST/MIRI 15 m phase curves of TRAPPIST-1 b and c, revealing thermal emission consistent with their irradiation levels, assuming no efficient heat redistribution. We…
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…
