A Critical UV Legacy: A Hubble Roadmap for HWO Science Readiness
Sarah Peacock, Aiden S. Zelakewicz, Lisa Kaltenegger +14
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will provide the first opportunity to directly image and spectrally characterize terrestrial exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby star…
The unique ability of the Hubble Space Telescope to characterize young exoplanet environments
Keighley E. Rockcliffe, Allison Youngblood, Kevin France +10
The chemical and mass evolution of exoplanet atmospheres is shaped by their specific X-ray through ultraviolet (5 - 3200 Angstroms) irradiance history. X-ray and EUV (5 - 911 Angst…
The MUSCLES Extension for Atmospheric Transmission Spectroscopy: Spectral energy distributions for 20 exoplanet host stars that JWST observed in Cycle 1
David J. Wilson, Allison Youngblood, Girish M. Duvvuri +11
Correctly interpreting JWST spectra of close-in exoplanets requires a measurement of the X-ray and ultraviolet light that the planets receive from their host stars. Here we provide…
X-ray and UV Observations of the Young Sun HIP~67522: Evidence of Lyman-alpha Absorption Within the Planetary System
Cynthia S. Froning, Allison Youngblood, David J. Wilson +7
We present ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy of the 17 Myr, G0V star, HIP 67522. The UV spectrum is characterized by strong chromospheric and transition region emission lines. There wa…
Lyman-Alpha Emission from K and M Dwarfs: Intrinsic Profiles, Variability, and Flux in the Habitable Zone
Sarah Peacock, Travis S. Barman, R. O. Parke Loyd +4
Lyman- (Ly) is the most prominent ultraviolet emission line in low-mass stars, playing a crucial role in exoplanet atmospheric photochemistry, heating, and escape. However,…
HWO Target Stars and Systems: A Survey of Archival UV and X-ray Data
Sarah Peacock, David J. Wilson, Tyler Richey-Yowell +14
We assess archival high-energy data for key stars on the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) Target Stars and Systems 2025 list, as stellar radiation is critical to shaping and inte…
