Worlds Next Door. V. A Candidate Solar System Scale Super-Jupiter in the 61 Cygni Binary System

Aniket Sanghi, Billy Quarles, Andrea S. J. Lin +16

We present new constraints on a candidate third companion in the 61 Cygni binary system-one of the closest neighbors to our solar system (3.5 pc), the first stars to have a measure…

Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory

Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324

The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…

The JWST Early Release Science Program for Direct Observations of Exoplanetary Systems VIII: patchy forsterite and enstatite clouds in the atmosphere of VHS 1256 b, retrieval lessons learned and outlook to the future

Niall Whiteford, Jacqueline K. Faherty, Ben Burningham +123

JWST defines a new era for the data-driven approach of retrieval modelling, which has become a cornerstone tool for the statistical inference of exoplanetary and brown dwarf proper…

The SPace-based InterFerometer Feasibility (SPIFF) Project: Enabling Future High-Resolution Astronomy Across the EM Spectrum

Berke Vow Ricketti, Victoria Yankelevich, Chris Benson +19

A plethora of astronomical science cases can only be achieved with high angular resolution observations, and we can expect the number of these to grow as astronomers are constraine…

A radially broad collisional cascade in the debris disk of Ophiuchi observed by JWST

Yinuo Han, Mark Wyatt, Kate Y. L. Su +13

The A1V star Oph, at a distance of 29.7 pc, is known from Spitzer imaging to host a debris disk with a large radial extent and from its spectral energy distribution to host inn…

Transformational astrophysics and exoplanet science with Habitable Worlds Observatory's High Resolution Imager

Vincent Van Eylen, Richard Massey, Saeeda Awan +167

Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be NASA's flagship space telescope of the 2040s, designed to search for life on other planets and to transform broad areas of astrophysics.…

A second planetesimal collision in the Fomalhaut system

Paul Kalas, Jason J. Wang, Maxwell A. Millar-Blanchaer +7

The nearby star Fomalhaut is orbited by a compact source, Fomalhaut b, which has previously been interpreted as either a dust-enshrouded exoplanet or a dust cloud generated by the…

Finding New Debris Discs at Sub-millimetre Wavelengths

Mark Booth, Patricia Luppe, Sebastian Marino +9

Debris discs reveal the architectures and dynamical histories of planetary systems. Sub-millimetre observations trace large dust grains within debris discs, revealing their bulk pr…

Theory of Exozodi Sources and Dust Evolution

Mark C. Wyatt, Tim D. Pearce, Nicole Pawellek +5

Exozodiacal dust disks (exozodis) are populations of warm (~300K) or hot (~1000K) dust, located in or interior to a star's habitable zone, detected around ~25% of main-sequence sta…

Worlds Next Door: A Candidate Giant Planet Imaged in the Habitable Zone of Cen A. I. Observations, Orbital and Physical Properties, and Exozodi Upper Limits

Charles Beichman, Aniket Sanghi, Dimitri Mawet +27

We report on coronagraphic observations of the nearest solar-type star, Cen A, using the MIRI instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope. With three epochs of observation (Au…

Worlds Next Door: A Candidate Giant Planet Imaged in the Habitable Zone of Cen A. II. Binary Star Modeling, Planet and Exozodi Search, and Sensitivity Analysis

Aniket Sanghi, Charles Beichman, Dimitri Mawet +14

JWST observed our closest solar twin, Cen A, with the MIRI coronagraph in F1550C (15.5 m) at three distinct epochs between August 2024 and April 2025. For the first time wit…

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…

A JWST MIRI MRS View of the Tel Debris Disk and its Brown Dwarf Companion

Yiwei Chai, Christine H. Chen, Kadin Worthen +12

We report JWST MIRI MRS observations of the Pictoris moving group member, Telescopii ( Tel) A and its brown dwarf binary companion, Tel B. Following PSF subtraction,…
