NASA ASTRA White Paper : A Chandra Successor in the 2030s

C. S. Reynolds, E. Hodges-Kluck, E. A. Kara +19

Chandra established that soft X-ray spectral imaging with approximately 1 arcsec angular resolution is an essential tool for almost every area of astrophysics, from the early Unive…

A Critical UV Legacy: A Hubble Roadmap for HWO Science Readiness

Sarah Peacock, Aiden S. Zelakewicz, Lisa Kaltenegger +14

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will provide the first opportunity to directly image and spectrally characterize terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby star…

The NUV transit of XO-3 b

Raven Cilley, Lia Corrales, George W. King +8

Near-UV (NUV) measurements of exoplanet transits offer a means to probe atmospheric escape, cloud formation, and planetary magnetic fields. We examine a 2024 XMM-Newton Optical Mon…

The puzzling story of flare inactive ultra fast rotating M dwarfs -- III. Investigating X-ray Activity

Lauren Doyle, George W. King, Gavin Ramsay +4

According to activity-rotation relations, rapid rotators are expected to show high levels of magnetic activity. However, recent studies with TESS have found Ultra Fast Rotating (UF…

HWO Target Stars and Systems: A Survey of Archival UV and X-ray Data

Sarah Peacock, David J. Wilson, Tyler Richey-Yowell +14

We assess archival high-energy data for key stars on the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) Target Stars and Systems 2025 list, as stellar radiation is critical to shaping and inte…

Stellar X-ray variability and planetary evolution in the DS Tucanae system

George W. King, Lía R. Corrales, Vincent Bourrier +5

We present an analysis of four Chandra observations of the 45 Myr old DS Tuc binary system. We observed X-ray variability of both stars on timescales from hours to months, includin…

Generating X-ray transit profiles with batman

George W. King, Lía R. Corrales, Peter J. Wheatley +2

We present an adaptation of the exoplanet transit model code batman, in order to permit the generation of X-ray transits. Our underlying extended coronal model assumes an isotherma…

High-energy spectra of LTT 1445A and GJ 486 reveal flares and activity

H. Diamond-Lowe, G. W. King, A. Youngblood +19

The high-energy radiative output, from the X-ray to the ultraviolet, of exoplanet host stars drives photochemical reactions and mass loss in the upper regions of planetary atmosphe…

Detecting exoplanet transits with the next generation of X-ray telescopes

Raven Cilley, George W. King, Lia Corrales

Detecting exoplanet transits at X-ray wavelengths would provide a window into the effects of high energy irradiation on the upper atmospheres of planets. However, stars are relativ…

Exoplanet Aeronomy: A Case Study of WASP-69b's Variable Thermosphere

W. Garrett Levine, Shreyas Vissapragada, Adina D. Feinstein +5

Aeronomy, the study of Earth's upper atmosphere and its interaction with the local space environment, has long traced changes in the thermospheres of Earth and other solar system p…

The XUV-driven escape of the planets around TOI-431 & Lupi

George W. King, Lía R. Corrales, Jorge Fernández Fernández +4

One of the leading mechanisms invoked to explain the existence of the radius valley is atmospheric mass loss driven by X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet irradiation, with this process…
