Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…

Star Planet Interactions

Arghyadeep Paul, Kristina Kislyakova, Manuel Güdel +13

Star-planet interactions (SPIs) describe the continuous exchange of energy, momentum, and mass between exoplanets and their host stars through radiative, tidal, magnetic, and parti…

Imaging Venus-like Worlds: Spectral, Polarimetric, and UV Diagnostics for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Stephen R. Kane, Kimberly M. Bott, Kenneth E. Goodis Gordon +15

Understanding planetary habitability requires a comparative approach that explores the divergent evolutionary outcomes of Earth and Venus. The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) wi…

Direct imaging characterization of cool gaseous planets

Michiel Min, Jo Barstow, Laura C. Mayorga +19

Cool gas giant exoplanets, particularly those with properties similar to those of Jupiter and Saturn, remain poorly characterized due to current observational limitations. This whi…

Vibrationally excited H2 mutes the He i triplet line at 1.08 μm on warm exo-Neptunes

Antonio García Muñoz, Dario De Fazio, David J. Wilson +1

Context. Neptune-sized exoplanets or exo-Neptunes are fundamental in the description of exoplanet diversity. Their evolution is sculpted by atmospheric escape, often traced by abso…

The SPACE Program. I. The featureless spectrum of HD 86226 c challenges sub-Neptune atmosphere trends

K. Angelique Kahle, Jasmina Blecic, Reza Ashtari +26

Sub-Neptune exoplanets are the most abundant type of planet known today. As they do not have a Solar System counterpart, many open questions exist about their composition and forma…

Detecting and characterising the magnetic field of exoplanets

A. Strugarek, S. V. Berdyugina, V. Bourrier +25

Magnetic fields play a crucial role in planetary evolution and habitability. While the intrinsic magnetic fields of solar system planets are relatively well understood, the magneti…

Large Interferometer For Exoplanets (LIFE). XIV. Finding terrestrial protoplanets in the galactic neighborhood

Lorenzo Cesario, Tim Lichtenberg, Eleonora Alei +62

The increased brightness temperature of young rocky protoplanets during their magma ocean epoch makes them potentially amenable to atmospheric characterization to distances from th…

Instantaneous Three-dimensional Thermal Structure of the South Polar Vortex of Venus

I. Garate-Lopez, A. García Muñoz, R. Hueso +1

The Venus thermal radiation spectrum exhibits the signature of absorption bands. By means of inversion techniques, those bands enable the retrieval of atmospheric temperatur…

Brightness modulations of our nearest terrestrial planet Venus reveal atmospheric super-rotation rather than surface features

Y. J. Lee, A. García Muñoz, T. Imamura +4

Terrestrial exoplanets orbiting within or near their host stars' habitable zone are potentially apt for life. It has been proposed that time-series measurements of reflected starli…

Is pi Men c's atmosphere hydrogen-dominated? Insights from a non-detecton of Hy Ly-alpha absorption

Antonio García Muñoz, Allison Youngblood, Luca Fossati +3

Constraining the composition of super-Earth-to-sub-Neptune-size planets is a priority to understand the processes of planetary formation and evolution. pi Men c represents a unique…
