The Impact of Planetary Phase Functions on Exo-Earth Detectability with EXOSIMS
Searra Foote, Tyler D. Robinson, Rhonda Morgan +3
The under-development NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) aims to provide breakthroughs in exoplanet science, yet the most effective approaches to modeling the detection and ch…
Exomoons and Exorings with the Habitable Worlds Observatory II: Finding Endor with Lunar Eclipses
Mary Anne Limbach, Beck Dacus, Brooke Kotten +6
Giant planets in the habitable zone may host exomoons with conditions conducive to life. In this paper we describe a method by which the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) could de…
Paths to Robust Exoplanet Science Yield Margin for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Christopher C. Stark, Bertrand Mennesson, Steve Bryson +11
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will seek to detect and characterize potentially Earth-like planets around other stars. To ensure that the mission achieves the Astro2020 Dec…
HWO Yield Sensitivities in the NIR and NUV
Rhonda Morgan, Dmitry Savransky, Michael Turmon +6
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will search for biosignatures from Earth-size exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby stars. The wavelength range for biosignatures used by t…
