Mitigating Worst-Case Exozodiacal Dust Structure in High-contrast Images of Earth-like Exoplanets
Miles H. Currie, Christopher C. Stark, Jens Kammerer +2
Detecting Earth-like exoplanets in direct images of nearby Sun-like systems brings a unique set of challenges that must be addressed in the early phases of designing a space-based…
The apparent absence of forward scattering in the HD 53143 debris disk
Christopher C. Stark, Bin Ren, Meredith A. MacGregor +5
HD 53143 is a mature Sun-like star and host to a broad disk of dusty debris, including a cold outer ring of planetesimals near 90 AU. Unlike most other inclined debris disks imaged…
The James Webb Space Telescope Mission: Optical Telescope Element Design, Development, and Performance
Michael W. McElwain, Lee D. Feinberg, Marshall D. Perrin +126
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large, infrared space telescope that has recently started its science program which will enable breakthroughs in astrophysics and planeta…
Simulating reflected light coronagraphy of Earth-like exoplanets with a large IR/O/UV space telescope: impact and calibration of smooth exozodiacal dust
Jens Kammerer, Christopher C. Stark, Kevin J. Ludwick +2
Observing Earth-like exoplanets orbiting within the habitable zone of Sun-like stars and studying their atmospheres in reflected starlight requires contrasts of $\sim1\mathrm{e}{-1…
ALMA Images the Eccentric HD 53143 Debris Disk
Meredith A. MacGregor, Spencer A. Hurt, Christopher C. Stark +6
We present ALMA 1.3 mm observations of the HD~53143 debris disk - the first infrared or millimeter image produced of this ~1 Gyr-old solar-analogue. Previous HST STIS coronagraphic…
ExoVista: A Suite of Planetary System Models for Exoplanet Studies
Christopher C. Stark
Studies of future space- and ground-based exoplanet surveys often rely on models of planetary systems to simulate instrument response, estimate scientific yields, perform trade ana…
