Stellar flare-driven evolution of primordial early exo-Earth atmospheres: Insights from a Young M Dwarf Flare model
E. Mamonova, K. Herbst, V. Kofman +4
Context. M dwarfs are key targets for terrestrial exoplanet studies, with prospects for atmospheric spectroscopy. However, strong stellar magnetic activity and frequent flaring req…
Impact of Climate States and Seasons on Future Exo-Earth Observations
Kyle Batra, Stephanie Olson, Vincent Kofman
Many planetary parameters impact the climate state of Earth-like exoplanets and could vary significantly from those on Earth. However, some of these parameters may be impossible to…
Retrieving the Red Edge on Earth-like Planets with Heterogeneous Clouds and Surfaces
Zachary Burr, Mario Damiano, Vincent Kofman +2
The detection and characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets is one of the chief goals of astrophysics for the coming decades. Imaging in reflected light is well suited f…
Spectral signatures from the habitable zone
Vincent Kofman
This work describes the context and approach for the detection of spectroscopic signatures from planets in the habitable zone of nearby stars. By understanding the limitations of c…
Multi-bandpass Photometry for Exoplanet Atmosphere Reconnaissance (MPEAR) with the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) -- I. Differentiating Earth from Neptunes During Discovery
Eleonora Alei, Avi M. Mandell, Miles H. Currie +7
As the architecture for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is being developed, it is crucial to optimize the observing strategies for a survey to detect and characterize Earth-…
Determining the Detectability of H2O with Photometric Observations using Bayesian Analysis for Remote Biosignature Identification on exoEarths (BARBIE)
Natasha Latouf, Chris Stark, Avi Mandell +1
We examine the detectability of water (H2O) in the reflected-light spectrum of an Earth-like exoplanet assuming a photometric observational approach rather than spectroscopic. By q…
