Optomechanical Design of the MANTIS SmallSat: An Extreme-, Far- and Near-Ultraviolet Spectrograph for Exoplanet Host Stars
Brian Fleming, Briana Indahl, Dmitry Vorobiev +16
The MANTIS (Monitoring Activity of Nearby sTars with uv Imaging and Spectroscopy) observatory is a compact, multi-instrument small satellite designed for simultaneous extreme- (EUV…
ESCAPE: a small explorer mission to study the stellar drivers of exoplanet evolution
Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, Brian Fleming +37
The long-term stability of exoplanetary atmospheres depends critically on the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) photon and high-energy particle fluxes from the host star, which are poorly…
Ardua: Unveiling the Baryon Cycle from Stars to the Cosmic Web
Carlos J. Vargas, Caroline Kilbourne, Haeun Chung +29
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) -- the multiphase gas reservoirs surrounding galaxies -- remains the least understood component of the baryon cycle governing galaxy growth, despite…
Push-broom Mapping of Galaxies and Supernova Remnants with the SPRITE CubeSat
Elena Carlson, Brian Fleming, Yi Hang Valerie Wong +12
Supernovae (SNe) enrich and energize the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM) and are a key mechanism in the galaxy feedback cycle. The heating of the ISM by supernova shocks, and…
