Multi-bandpass Photometry for Exoplanet Atmosphere Reconnaissance (MPEAR) with the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) -- I. Differentiating Earth from Neptunes During Discovery
Eleonora Alei, Avi M. Mandell, Miles H. Currie +7
As the architecture for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is being developed, it is crucial to optimize the observing strategies for a survey to detect and characterize Earth-…
Minimizing Star Spot Contamination of Exoplanet Transit Spectroscopy Using Alternate Normalization
Drake Deming, Miles H. Currie, Victoria S. Meadows +1
Recently, Currie et al. simulated the detection of molecules in the atmospheres of temperate rocky exoplanets transiting nearby M-dwarf stars. They simulated detections via spectra…
Exozodiacal dust as a limitation to exoplanet imaging and spectroscopy
Miles H. Currie, John Debes, Yasuhiro Hasegawa +7
In addition to planets and other small bodies, stellar systems will likely also host exozodiacal dust, or exozodi. This warm dust primarily resides in or near the habitable zone of…
There's more to life in reflected light: Simulating the detectability of a range of molecules for high-contrast, high-resolution observations of non-transiting terrestrial exoplanets
Miles H. Currie, Victoria S. Meadows
The upcoming extremely large telescopes will provide the first opportunity to search for signs of habitability and life on non-transiting terrestrial exoplanets using high-contrast…
