Possible Observational Survey Strategies to Maximize Exoplanet Yields: A Report from the Survey Strategies Task Group in the Exoplanet Science Yields Working Group
Natasha Latouf, Corey Spohn, Kevin Fogarty +12
We present a variety of possible observational sequences from planet detection to characterization (i.e., survey strategies) for the initial exoEarth detection and characterization…
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…
Spatially Resolving the Fundamental Elements of Reionization in Galaxies
Xinfeng Xu, Stephan McCandliss, Allison Strom +10
Cosmic reionization marks a critical epoch when the first galaxies ionized the intergalactic medium through the escape of Lyman continuum (LyC) radiation. Young, massive star clust…
Identifying the contributors to cosmic reionization with the Habitable World Observatory: LyC escape calibration in faint galaxies
Annalisa Citro, Cody. A. Carr, Yumi Choi +9
Investigating how small-scale physical processes shape large-scale astrophysical phenomena is one of the key science themes of the Astro2020 decadal Survey. An example of this inte…
