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…
Searching for Life-As-We-Don't-Know-It: Mission-relevant Application of Assembly Theory for Exoplanet Life Detection
Sara Walker, Estelle Janin, Evgenya Shkolnik +2
This white paper introduces a framework for applying Assembly Theory (AT) to planetary atmospheres as a biosignature framework suitable for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO).…
A Firefly-inspired Model for Deciphering the Alien
Cameron Brooks, Estelle Janin, Gage Siebert +3
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI) is, historically, a search for aliens like us, inspired by human centric ideas of intelligence and technology. However, humans ar…
Network and Kinetics-based Biosignatures: Implications for the Putative Habitable World Observatory Design
Theresa Fisher, Chester Harman, Estelle Janin +4
The proposed Habitable Worlds Observatory is intended to observe the atmospheres of nearby terrestrial exoplanets with a resolution greater than that of any previous instrument. Wh…
History and Habitability of the LP 890-9 Planetary System
Rory Barnes, Laura N. R. do Amaral, Jessica Birky +42
We present numerous aspects of the evolution of the LP 890-9 (SPECULOOS-2/TOI-4306) planetary system, focusing on the likelihood that planet c can support life. We find that the ho…
Modeling Atmospheric Lines By the Exoplanet Community (MALBEC) version 1.0: A CUISINES radiative transfer intercomparison project
Geronimo L. Villanueva, Thomas J. Fauchez, Vincent Kofman +15
Radiative transfer (RT) models are critical in the interpretation of exoplanetary spectra, in simulating exoplanet climates and when designing the specifications of future flagship…
A Complex Systems Approach to Exoplanet Atmospheric Chemistry: New Prospects for Ruling Out the Possibility of Alien Life-As-We-Know-It
Theresa Fisher, Estelle Janin, Sara Imari Walker
The near-term capability to characterize terrestrial exoplanet atmospheres may bring us closer to discovering alien life through atmospheric data. However, remotely detectable cand…
Characterising a World Within the Hot Neptune Desert: Transit Observations of LTT 9779 b with HST WFC3
Billy Edwards, Quentin Changeat, Angelos Tsiaras +27
We present an atmospheric analysis of LTT 9779 b, a rare planet situated in the hot Neptune desert, that has been observed with HST WFC3 G102 and G141. The combined transmission sp…
TRAPPIST Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI) workshop report
Thomas J. Fauchez, Martin Turbet, Denis E. Sergeev +31
The era of atmospheric characterization of terrestrial exoplanets is just around the corner. Modeling prior to observations is crucial in order to predict the observational challen…
