Bayesian Analysis for Remote Biosignature Identification on exoEarths (BARBIE) \RNum{3}: Introducing the KEN

Natasha Latouf, Michael D. Himes, Avi M. Mandell +4

We deploy a newly-generated set of geometric albedo spectral grids to examine the detectability of methane (CH4) in the reflected-light spectrum of an Earth-like exoplanet at visib…

The pale blue dot: using the Planetary Spectrum Generator to simulate signals from hyper realistic exo-Earths

Vincent Kofman, Geronimo Villanueva, Thomas Fauchez +5

The atmospheres and surfaces of planets show tremendous amount of spatial variation, which has a direct effect on the spectrum of the object, even if this may not be spatially reso…

Optimized Bandpasses for the Habitable Worlds Observatory's ExoEarth Survey

Christopher C. Stark, Natasha Latouf, Avi M. Mandell +1

A primary scientific goal of the future Habitable Worlds Observatory will be the direct detection and characterization of Earth-like planets. Estimates of the exoplanet yields for…
