Finding Habitable Exoplanets with Binary Relative Astrometry: Planet Detection and Characterization with the Microarcsecond Astrometric Retrieval Algorithm (MARA)
William Roberson, Eric L. Nielsen, Jessie L. Christiansen +8
Binary relative astrometry is a technique to search for rocky planets in the habitable zone of nearby binary stars using 1D relative astrometry at the microarcsecond level. This un…
Emergent Symmetry-Protected Topological Phases via Polyakov Confinement in Quantum Spin Systems
Li-Wei He, Shun-Li Yu, Jian-Xin Li
A main theme in modern condensed matter physics is the emergence of fractionalized excitations and gauge structures from quantum spin systems. However, understanding how these exot…
Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The paper summarizes 70 science cases for the proposed NASA Habitable Worlds Observatory, outlining the observational needs across four scientific pillars and detailing required ca…
Searching for Habitable Exoplanets with Relative Astrometry (SHERA). I. The Case for Searching for Planets in Binary Star Systems
Jessie L. Christiansen, Eric E. Mamajek, Gautam Vasisht +14
Discovering Earth-like planets orbiting Sun-like stars was identified as a priority science goal of the Astronomy 2020 Decadal Survey. It is confounded by many factors, one of whic…
Do Super-Puffs Defy Core Accretion? Population-Wide Interior Structure Constraints
Nicholas T. Marston, Juliette Becker, Alex R. Howe
Sub-Saturn mass planets with extremely low bulk densities , or ``super-puffs'', are one of the most interesting and least understood populations of…
A Century of Radial Velocity and Astrometric Monitoring of 70 Oph AB: New PFS Data and Constraints on Planetary Companions
Yiting Li, Michael R. Meyer, Skylar D'Angiolillo +29
At a distance of 5.1 pc, the 70 Oph AB binary star system is one of the most favorable targets for future direct imaging and astrometry missions surveying mature, terrestrial plane…
