Preparing for the Early eVolution Explorer: Detecting the Primordial, Transiting Exoplanet Population
George Zhou, James G. Rogers, Jennifer A. Burt +17
The close-in small planet population may be formed either with hydrogen/helium dominated envelopes or with water-rich interiors. Both scenarios reproduce the present day planet pop…
A Century of Radial Velocity and Astrometric Monitoring of 70 Oph AB: New PFS Data and Constraints on Planetary Companions
Yiting Li, Michael R. Meyer, Skylar D'Angiolillo +29
At a distance of 5.1 pc, the 70 Oph AB binary star system is one of the most favorable targets for future direct imaging and astrometry missions surveying mature, terrestrial plane…
TESS Discovers a Second System of Transiting Exocomets in the Extreme Debris Disk of RZ Psc
Adalyn Gibson, Meredith A. MacGregor, Ward S. Howard +9
We present the TESS discovery of only the second system of transiting exocomets with a sufficient number of events to measure the size distribution in the RZ Psc system, enabling c…
A New Approach to Compiling Exoatmospheric Target Lists And Quantifying the Ground-Based Resources Needed to Vet Them
Jennifer A. Burt, Robert T. Zellem, David R. Ciardi +8
Transiting exoplanet atmospheric characterization is currently in a golden age as dozens of exoplanet atmospheres are being studied by NASA's Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes…
Astrometric Accelerations of Provisional Targets for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Katie E. Painter, Brendan P. Bowler, Kyle Franson +2
NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will be the first space telescope capable of directly imaging Earth-like planets in the habitable zones of Sun-like stars to probe their a…
