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…
PAH Emission Spectra and Band Ratios for Arbitrary Radiation Fields with the Single Photon Approximation
Helena M. Richie, Brandon S. Hensley
We present a new method for generating emission spectra from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in arbitrary radiation fields. We utilize the single-photon limit for PAH heati…
Simulation of the Far-Infrared Polarimetry Approach Envisioned for the PRIMA Mission
C. Darren Dowell, Brandon S. Hensley, Marc Sauvage
Interest in the study of magnetic fields and the properties of interstellar dust, explored through increasingly capable far-IR/submillimeter polarimetry, along with maturing detect…
Confusion of extragalactic sources in the far infrared: a baseline assessment of the performance of PRIMAger in intensity and polarization
Matthieu Béthermin, Alberto D. Bolatto, François Boulanger +11
Because of their limited angular resolution, far-infrared telescopes are usually affected by confusion phenomenon. Since several galaxies can be located in the same instrumental be…
