Possible Observational Survey Strategies to Maximize Exoplanet Yields: A Report from the Survey Strategies Task Group in the Exoplanet Science Yields Working Group
Natasha Latouf, Corey Spohn, Kevin Fogarty +12
We present a variety of possible observational sequences from planet detection to characterization (i.e., survey strategies) for the initial exoEarth detection and characterization…
pyEDITH: the coronagraphic exposure time calculator for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Eleonora Alei, Miles H. Currie, Corey Spohn +7
To support the development of next-generation missions for the search and characterization of habitable planets, high-fidelity tools for astrophysical and instrumental noise simula…
Foundations for Discovery: A Coordinated Fleet Approach to NASA Astrophysics
Regina Caputo, Francesca M. Civano, Knicole D. Colón +15
This white paper presents an analysis of Astro2020 science priorities and NASA's future astrophysics mission architecture, advocating for a coordinated fleet of $1--2B missions, s…
Bayesian Analysis for Remote Biosignature Identification on exoEarths (BARBIE) IV: Analyzing CO2 Detections in the Near-IR to Determine the Long-Wavelength Cut-off for the Habitable Worlds Observatory Coronagraph
Celeste Hagee, Natasha Latouf, Avi M. Mandell +3
We present our analysis of how the detectability of carbon dioxide (CO2) on an Earth-like planet varies with respect to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), wavelength, and molecular abund…
A New Strategy for Using Spectroscopic Phase Curves to Characterize Non-Transiting Planets
Ted M. Johnson, Avi M. Mandell
We introduce a new time-series analysis strategy for combined-light exoplanet spectroscopic phase curves called the Variable Planetary Infrared Excess (VPIE) method. VPIE can be us…
A whole-planet model of the Earth without life for terrestrial exoplanet studies
Samantha Gilbert-Janizek, Rory K. Barnes, Peter E. Driscoll +5
As the only known habitable (and inhabited) planet in the universe, Earth informs our search for life elsewhere. Future telescopes like the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will…
