A Scalable Path to Astrometric Exomoon Discoveries with the Nautilus Space Observatory
Kevin Wagner, Sumin Seung, Dániel Apai +15
Moons orbiting exoplanets (exomoons) can be detected through the reflex motion they impart to their host planet, which is recoverable in relative star-planet astrometric time serie…
The TOLIMAN mission: A low-cost space telescope for high precision narrow-angle astrometry
Peter Tuthill, Christopher Betters, Max Charles +29
The TOLIMAN project is engaged with the construction, launch and operation of a low-cost space telescope of unorthodox optical design. Its primary science goal targets an exhaustiv…
Masses of Potentially Habitable Planets Characterized by the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Kaz Gary, B. Scott Gaudi, Eduardo Bendek +5
Constraints on the masses of exoplanets directly imaged and characterized by the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) are crucial for categorizing these planets and interpreting thei…
Flight masks of the Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument
A. J. Eldorado Riggs, Vanessa P. Bailey, Dwight Moody +25
Over the past two decades, thousands of confirmed exoplanets have been detected. The next major challenge is to characterize these other worlds and their stellar systems. Much info…
