Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…
Astra: an open-source fully autonomous robotic observatory control software
Peter P. Pedersen, David Degen, Lionel Garcia +12
Robotic and autonomous observatories are critical for modern time-domain and high-cadence astronomical surveys. The operation of these facilities requires complex software coordina…
SPECULOOS: five years hunting terrestrial planets around ultra-cool dwarfs
Sebastián Zúñiga-Fernández, Michael Gillon, SPECULOOS consortium
The SPECULOOS (Search for habitable Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars) project aims to detect temperate terrestrial planets transiting nearby ultracool dwarfs, including late M-dw…
Infrared photometry with InGaAs detectors: First light with SPECULOOS
Peter P. Pedersen, Didier Queloz, Lionel Garcia +15
We present the photometric performance of SPIRIT, a ground-based near-infrared InGaAs CMOS-based instrument (1280 by 1024 pixels, 12 micron pitch), using on-sky results from the SP…
CHEOPS in-flight performance: A comprehensive look at the first 3.5 years of operations
A. Fortier, A. E. Simon, C. Broeg +128
CHEOPS is a space telescope specifically designed to monitor transiting exoplanets orbiting bright stars. In September 2023, CHEOPS completed its nominal mission and remains in exc…
Precise near-infrared photometry, accounting for precipitable water vapour at SPECULOOS Southern Observatory
Peter P. Pedersen, C. A. Murray, D. Queloz +20
The variability induced by precipitable water vapour (PWV) can heavily affect the accuracy of time-series photometric measurements gathered from the ground, especially in the near-…
