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…
Revealing Cosmic Ecosystems with the Hubble Space Telescope in 2030s and Beyond
Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Tanmay Singh, David French +22
Ultraviolet spectroscopy with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) provides the most direct and sensitive probe of the disk-circumgalactic medium (CGM) interface at radii of 20 kpc, wh…
High-S/N Quasar Observations with HST/COS: Deep Fields for Spectroscopy
Andrew J. Fox, Jerry Kriss, Philipp Richter +49
Hubble is still in prime observing condition for making transformative discoveries in UV astronomy. In this white paper we describe the science case for a deep (S/N>30) UV spectros…
Characterizing gas flows through observations of the disk-CGM interface with the HWO
Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Joseph N. Burchett, Frances Cashman +5
How gas gets into, through, and out of galaxies is critical to understanding galactic ecosystems. The disk-CGM interface region is uniquely suited for studying processes that drive…
Dust in the Smith Cloud? A UV Investigation into the Smith Cloud's Gas-Phase Abundance Patterns
Johanna Vazquez, Kathleen Barger, Frances Cashman +11
The Smith Cloud is a high-velocity cloud (HVC) on its final approach to the Milky Way that shows evidence of interaction with the Galaxy's disk. We investigate the metallicity and…
