Enabling Quantitative Polarimetry for Keck/NIRC2: Preliminary Mueller Matrix Model Calibration
Manxuan Zhang, Briley L. Lewis, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +27
The Keck/NIRC2 infrared imager was upgraded in 2025 with dual-beam polarimetric observing modes spanning approximately 1.1--4.1 microns (JHKL' bands). We present a preliminary JHK…
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 Sulfur-Rich Atmosphere for the Young Jupiter Analog AF Lep b Reveals Significant Solid Accretion
Jerry W. Xuan, William O. Balmer, Yayaati Chachan +25
AF Lep b is one of the closest analogs to Jupiter in terms of mass () and semi-major axis ( AU) amenable to spectroscopic characterization. We present JWST/NIR…
The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future
Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123
JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…
Investigating the differential limb coupling effect for diffraction-limited spectrographs with PARVI
Andrea S. J. Lin, Ashley D. Baker, Samuel Halverson +5
A promising new architecture for extreme-precision radial velocity (EPRV) spectrographs, hunting for small-amplitude stellar Doppler shifts induced by orbiting planets, is to build…
Laboratory demonstration of low order wavefront control using light reflected off the vortex coronagraph
Clarissa R. Do Ã, Kane Sjoberg, Luke Lamitina +4
The paper reports the first laboratory demonstration of a low‑order wavefront sensing and tip‑tilt control loop using light reflected from a vector vortex coronagraph, achieving su…
