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…

Impacts of Correlated Noise on Retrievals of Exo-Earth Atmospheres

Nicole Wolff, Bruce Macintosh, Tyler D. Robinson +6

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) aims to accomplish high-contrast imaging and spectroscopy of true Earth analogs for the first time. However, high-contrast spectroscopy with…

Discovery of an Exterior Third Planet Orbiting Pictoris

Aidan Gibbs, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Alexis Bidot +9

We report the discovery of Pictoris d ( Pic d), a third giant planet in the Pictoris system, which now becomes only the second directly imaged system with more than two…

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…

Exomoons and Exorings with the Habitable Worlds Observatory II: Finding Endor with Lunar Eclipses

Mary Anne Limbach, Beck Dacus, Brooke Kotten +6

Giant planets in the habitable zone may host exomoons with conditions conducive to life. In this paper we describe a method by which the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) could de…

The Comprehensive Archive of Substellar and Planetary Accretion Rates

S. K. Betti, K. B. Follette, K. Ward-Duong +11

Accretion rates () of young stars show a strong correlation with object mass (); however, extension of the relation into the substellar regime is less certa…

The Giant Accreting Protoplanet Survey (GAPlanetS): Optimization Techniques for Robust Detections of Protoplanets

Jéa I. Adams Redai, Katherine B. Follette, Jason Wang +11

High-contrast imaging has afforded astronomers the opportunity to study light directly emitted by adolescent (tens of Myr) and ``proto" (10Myr) planets still undergoing formatio…

The Giant Accreting Protoplanet Survey (GAPlanetS) -- Results from a Six Year Campaign to Image Accreting Protoplanets

Katherine B. Follette, Laird M. Close, Jared R. Males +20

Accreting protoplanets represent a window into planet formation processes. We report Hα differential imaging results from the deepest and most comprehensive accreting protoplanet s…
