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…
Building SPARCS, an Ultraviolet Science CubeSat for Exoplanet Habitability Studies, Technology Advancements, and Mission Training
Evgenya L. Shkolnik, David R. Ardila, Logan Jensen +17
The Star-Planet Activity Research CubeSat (SPARCS) is a NASA-funded 6U-CubeSat mission designed to monitor ultraviolet (UV) radiation from low-mass stars. These stars' relatively h…
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…
Ultraviolet Technology To Prepare For The Habitable Worlds Observatory
Sarah Tuttle, Mark Matsumura, David R. Ardila +22
We present here the current state of a collection of promising ultraviolet technologies in preparation for the Habitable Worlds Observatory. Working with experts representing a sig…
Advancing Ultraviolet Detector Technology for future missions: Investigating the dark current plateau in silicon detectors using photon-counting EMCCDs
Aafaque R. Khan, Erika Hamden, Gillian Kyne +14
Understanding the noise characteristics of high quantum efficiency silicon-based ultraviolet detectors, developed by the Microdevices Lab at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, is criti…
Hyperion: The origin of the stars A far-UV space telescope for high-resolution spectroscopy over wide fields
Erika Hamden, David Schiminovich, Shouleh Nikzad +30
We present Hyperion, a mission concept recently proposed to the December 2021 NASA Medium Explorer announcement of opportunity. Hyperion explores the formation and destruction of m…
