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 effect of spectral resolution on biosignature detection via reflected light observations of the Earth through time
Samantha Gilbert-Janizek, Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, Joshua Krissansen-Totton
NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will search for biosignatures on Earth-like exoplanets using reflected light spectroscopy. A critical instrument design parameter is resol…
A whole-planet model of the Earth without life for terrestrial exoplanet studies
Samantha Gilbert-Janizek, Rory K. Barnes, Peter E. Driscoll +5
As the only known habitable (and inhabited) planet in the universe, Earth informs our search for life elsewhere. Future telescopes like the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will…
Wavelength Requirements for Life Detection via Reflected Light Spectroscopy of Rocky Exoplanets
Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Anna Grace Ulses, Maxwell Frissell +21
Searching for signs of life is a primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). However, merely detecting oxygen, methane, or other widely discussed biosignatures is insuf…
