The Habitable Exoplanet Observatory (HabEx) Mission Concept Study Interim Report
B. Scott Gaudi, Sara Seager, Bertrand Mennesson +79
For the first time in human history, technologies have matured sufficiently to enable a mission capable of discovering and characterizing habitable planets like Earth orbiting sunl…
Is there really a debris disc around ?
V. Faramaz, G. Bryden, K. R. Stapelfeldt +10
The presence of a debris disc around the Gyr-old solar-type star was suggested by the infrared excess detection. Follow-up observations…
The HOSTS Survey for Exozodiacal Dust: Preliminary results and future prospects
S. Ertel, G. M. Kennedy, D. Defrère +40
[abridged] The presence of large amounts of dust in the habitable zones of nearby stars is a significant obstacle for future exo-Earth imaging missions. We executed an N band nulli…
Constraining the presence of giant planets in two-belt debris disk systems with VLT/SPHERE direct imaging and dynamical arguments
Elisabeth Matthews, Sasha Hinkley, Arthur Vigan +10
Giant, wide-separation planets often lie in the gap between multiple, distinct rings of circumstellar debris: this is the case for the HR\,8799 and HD\,95086 systems, and even the…
The HOSTS survey - Exozodiacal dust measurements for 30 stars
S. Ertel, D. Defrère, P. Hinz +40
The HOSTS (Hunt for Observable Signatures of Terrestrial Systems) survey searches for dust near the habitable zones (HZs) around nearby, bright main sequence stars. We use nulling…
Key Technology Challenges for the Study of Exoplanets and the Search for Habitable Worlds
Brendan Crill, Nick Siegler, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +2
In support of the National Acadamies' Exoplanet Science Strategy, this whitepaper outlines key technology challenges for studying the diversity of worlds in the Galaxy and in searc…
