Double-offset Cassegrain telescopes for the Ultraviolet Type Ia (UVIa) mission concept
Fernando Cruz Aguirre, Keri Hoadley, Curtis McCully +13
Our understanding of cosmology is shaped by Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), the runaway thermonuclear detonations of white dwarfs via accretion from a companion star. The nature of th…
The Ultraviolet Type Ia Supernova CubeSat (UVIa): Science Motivation & Mission Concept
Keri Hoadley, Curtis McCully, Gillian Kyne +23
The Ultraviolet (UV) Type Ia Supernova Mission (UVIa) is a CubeSat/SmallSat concept that stands to test critical space-borne UV technology for future missions like the Habitable Wo…
The High-Energy Spectrum of the Young Planet Host V1298 Tau
Girish M. Duvvuri, P. Wilson Cauley, Fernando Cruz Aguirre +4
V1298 Tau is a young pre-main sequence star hosting four known exoplanets that are prime targets for transmission spectroscopy with current-generation instruments. This work pieces…
The Radiation Environments of Middle-Aged F-Type Stars
F. Cruz Aguirre, K. France, N. Nell +5
Far ultraviolet (FUV) emission lines from dwarf stars are important driving sources of photochemistry in planetary atmospheres. Properly interpreting spectral features of planetary…
