Science-Driven Performance Requirements for UV Coronagraph Design: Implications for O Detection in Earth-like Atmospheres
Amber V. Young, Giada Arney, Shawn Domagal-Goldman +6
Detecting biosignatures on Earth-like exoplanets from the Proterozoic era requires instrumentation capable of probing near-ultraviolet (NUV) spectral features, particularly ozone (…
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…
Formation and evolution pathways of planets. I. Comparison between theory and observations
Yasuhiro Hasegawa, Renyu Hu, Amine Bouzerzour
Discoveries of numerous exoplanets by various methods enable detailed characterization including bulk density. Formation and evolution pathways of planets can thus be probed in the…
Retrieving the Red Edge on Earth-like Planets with Heterogeneous Clouds and Surfaces
Zachary Burr, Mario Damiano, Vincent Kofman +2
The detection and characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets is one of the chief goals of astrophysics for the coming decades. Imaging in reflected light is well suited f…
Identifying rocky planets and water worlds among sub-Neptune-sized exoplanets with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Renyu Hu, Michiel Min, Max Millar-Blanchaer +15
Astronomers are debating whether the plentiful "sub-Neptune" exoplanets -- worlds a bit larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune -- are predominantly rocky planets, water-rich "o…
Volcanic Satellites Tidally Venting Na, K, SO2 in Optical & Infrared Light
Apurva V. Oza, Andrea Gebek, Moritz Meyer zu Westram +19
Recent infrared spectroscopy from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has spurred analyses of common volcanic gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), alongside…
Coupled 1D Chemical Kinetic-Transport and 2D Hydrodynamic Modeling Supports a modest 1-1.5x Supersolar Oxygen Abundance in Jupiter's Atmosphere
Jeehyun Yang, Ali Hyder, Renyu Hu +1
Understanding the deep atmospheric composition of Jupiter provides critical constraints on its formation and the chemical evolution of the solar nebula. In this study, we combine o…
A water-rich interior in the temperate sub-Neptune K2-18 b revealed by JWST
Renyu Hu, Aaron Bello-Arufe, Armen Tokadjian +7
Temperate sub-Neptunes are compelling targets for detecting liquid-water oceans beyond the Solar System. If water-rich and lacking massive hydrogen-helium envelopes, these planets…
HWO Yield Sensitivities in the NIR and NUV
Rhonda Morgan, Dmitry Savransky, Michael Turmon +6
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will search for biosignatures from Earth-size exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby stars. The wavelength range for biosignatures used by t…
The Detectability of CH/CO/CO and NO Biosignatures through Reflection Spectroscopy of Terrestrial Exoplanets
Armen Tokadjian, Renyu Hu, Mario Damiano
The chemical makeup of Earth's atmosphere during the Archean (4 Ga-2.5 Ga) and Proterozoic eon (2.5 Ga-0.5 Ga) contrast considerably with the present-day: the Archean was rich in c…
Starshade Exoplanet Data Challenge: What We Learned
Mario Damiano, Stuart Shaklan, Renyu Hu +6
Starshade is one of the technologies that will enable the observation and characterization of small planets around nearby stars through direct imaging. The Starshade Exoplanetary D…
Early Release Science of the Exoplanet WASP-39b with JWST NIRSpec G395H
Lili Alderson, Hannah R. Wakeford, Munazza K. Alam +89
Measuring the abundances of carbon and oxygen in exoplanet atmospheres is considered a crucial avenue for unlocking the formation and evolution of exoplanetary systems. Access to a…
