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…
A Critical UV Legacy: A Hubble Roadmap for HWO Science Readiness
Sarah Peacock, Aiden S. Zelakewicz, Lisa Kaltenegger +14
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will provide the first opportunity to directly image and spectrally characterize terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby star…
The role of the Hubble Space Telescope in advancing our understanding of atmospheric escape in exoplanets
Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Arika Egan, Kevin France +14
An important evolutionary pathway for planetary atmospheres is escape to space, which has been studied on Earth and Mars for several decades and more recently in exoplanets. A part…
The unique ability of the Hubble Space Telescope to characterize young exoplanet environments
Keighley E. Rockcliffe, Allison Youngblood, Kevin France +10
The chemical and mass evolution of exoplanet atmospheres is shaped by their specific X-ray through ultraviolet (5 - 3200 Angstroms) irradiance history. X-ray and EUV (5 - 911 Angst…
Ever Elusive Exospheres: One Probable Detection and Two Non-Detections of Hα Transits in Young Systems
Reilly P. Milburn, Andrew W. Mann, Keighley Rockcliffe +5
Gaps in the exoplanet population, such as the Neptunian Desert, point to the importance of mass-loss in sculpting the radii of close-in exoplanets. Young planets (500Myr) offer…
HWO Target Stars and Systems: A Survey of Archival UV and X-ray Data
Sarah Peacock, David J. Wilson, Tyler Richey-Yowell +14
We assess archival high-energy data for key stars on the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) Target Stars and Systems 2025 list, as stellar radiation is critical to shaping and inte…
