The Science Potential of Characterizing Gas Giant Exoplanets with HWO
Beck Dacus, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Quinn Konopacky +19
With the ability to directly image Earth-like exoplanets and search their atmospheres for biosignatures, the upcoming Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will also collect high sign…
pyEDITH: the coronagraphic exposure time calculator for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Eleonora Alei, Miles H. Currie, Corey Spohn +7
To support the development of next-generation missions for the search and characterization of habitable planets, high-fidelity tools for astrophysical and instrumental noise simula…
JWST telemetry combined with active coronagraphy: raw contrast predictions for exoplanet imaging with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Raphaël Pourcelot, Laurent A. Pueyo, Emiel H. Por +6
We provide a quantification of the technological gap between the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) for the goal of exo-Earth imaging arou…
Calibration of MEMS DM actuator gains using a Zernike wavefront sensor on the HiCAT testbed and implications for Habitable Worlds Observatory operations
Sarah Steiger, Raphaël Pourcelot, Rémi Soummer +4
Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a key component of coronagraph instruments performing adaptive optics on the ground, and for future space observatories such as HWO and Roman CGI. Here…
CATKit2-HCI: a collaborative framework for advancing high-contrast coronagraph testbeds
Rémi Soummer, Iva Laginja, Emiel H. Por +19
High-contrast exoplanet imaging requires dedicated laboratory testbeds for the development and validation of coronagraph architectures, wavefront sensing and control methods, calib…
Impact of segmented deformable mirrors on high-contrast testbeds for exoplanet imaging with future large space telescopes: contrast stability assessment on the HiCAT bench
Benjamin Buralli, Mamadou N'Diaye, Raphaël Pourcelot +13
We investigate the stability of a segmented deformable mirror (DM) on high-contrast testbeds and its impact on the images produced with coronagraphs. Segmented apertures are promis…
Characterizing Earth analogs may require a moderate or high-resolution spectrograph
Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Sarah Steiger, Corey Spohn +16
A primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to detect and measure the abundance of biosignature molecules, such as water (H2O) and oxygen (O2), in the atmosphere of…
Incorporating Wavefront Error, Wavefront Sensing and Control, and Sensitivities into Exposure Time Calculations for Future Space Missions with the Error Budget Software (EBS)
Sarah Steiger, Pin Chen, Laurent Pueyo
A primary goal of NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) mission concept is to explore the Habitable Zones (HZ) of ~100 stellar systems and acquire spectra of ~25 terrestrial-ty…
yieldplotlib: A unified library for exoplanet yield code visualizations
Corey Spohn, Sarah Steiger, Alex R. Howe
NASA's next flagship observatory, the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), aims to detect and charaterize ~25 habitable zone planets. The total number of habitable zone planets dete…
Cross-Model Validation of Coronagraphic Exposure Time Calculators for the Habitable Worlds Observatory: A Report from the Exoplanet Science Yield sub-Working Group
Christopher C. Stark, Sarah Steiger, Armen Tokadjian +9
Estimating the exoplanet scientific productivity of the Habitable Worlds Observatory requires estimating science exposure times. From exoplanet yields to spectral retrievals, expos…
