The Potential of Exozodiacal Disks Observations with the WFIRST Coronagraph Instrument
B. Mennesson, V. Bailey, J. Kasdin +60
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Coronagraph Instrument (CGI) will be the first high-performance stellar coronagraph using active wavefront control for deep starli…
Community Involvement in the WFIRST Exoplanet Microlensing Survey
David P. Bennett, Rachel Akeson, Thomas Barclay +22
WFIRST is NASA's first flagship mission with pre-defined core science programs to study dark energy and perform a statistical census of wide orbit exoplanets with a gravitational m…
The Effect of Binarity on Circumstellar Disk Evolution
Scott A. Barenfeld, John M. Carpenter, Anneila I. Sargent +6
We present new results on how the presence of stellar companions affects disk evolution based on a study of the 5-11 Myr old Upper Scorpius OB Association. Of the 50 G0-M3 Upper Sc…
"Auxiliary" Science with the WFIRST Microlensing Survey
B. Scott Gaudi, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +21
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) will monitor deg toward the Galactic bulge in a wide (m) W149 filter at 15-minute cadence with exposure t…
The Scientific Context of WFIRST Microlensing in the 2020s
Jennifer Yee, Rachel Akeson, Jay Anderson +23
[abridged] WFIRST is uniquely capable of finding planets with masses as small as Mars at separations comparable to Jupiter, i.e., beyond the current ice lines of their stars. These…
Wide-Orbit Exoplanet Demographics
David P. Bennett, Rachel Akeson, Yann Alibert +41
The Kepler, K2 and TESS transit surveys are revolutionizing our understanding of planets orbiting close to their host stars and our understanding of exoplanet systems in general, b…
