Modeling the Impact of Starspot Inhomogeneity on Spectroscopic Retrievals of Directly-Imaged Planets
Alex R. Howe, Natasha Latouf, Christopher C. Stark +2
The paper models how starspot inhomogeneity on host stars can affect spectroscopic retrievals of directly imaged Earth‑like exoplanets, finding that Sun‑like activity has little im…
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-…
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO): Living Worlds Community Working Group: The Search for Life on Potentially Habitable Exoplanets
Giada Arney, Niki Parenteau, Natalie Hinkel +25
The discovery of a biosphere on another planet would transform how we view ourselves, and our planet Earth, in relation to the rest of the cosmos. We now know Earth is one planet a…
Shedding Light on Large Space-Based Telescopes: Modeling Stray Light due to Primary Mirror Damage from Micrometeoroid Impacts
Megan T. Gialluca, Jonathan W. Arenberg, Chris Stark +5
A large space-based telescope aimed at detecting and characterizing the atmospheres of Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars will require unprecedented contrast and stability.…
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…
