Upgrading LBTI/NOMIC with a quadruple annular groove phase mask and GeoSnap detector for imaging nearby, habitable-zone exoplanets
Kevin Wagner, Manny Montoya, Steve Ertel +32
The Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI)'s Nulling-Optimized Mid-Infrared Camera (NOMIC) is among the most capable thermal-infrared imaging systems available for high-co…
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…
Predictive Rankings of the Probability for Temperate Terrestrial Worlds for the HWO ExEP Mission Star List
Jamie Dietrich, Katelyn Ruppert, Austin Ware +1
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is NASA's flagship mission design from the Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020, meant to observe temperate terrestrial planets…
SPORES-HWO. II. Companion Mass Limits and Updated Planet Properties for 120 Future Exoplanet Imaging Targets from 35 yr of Precise Doppler Monitoring
Caleb K. Harada, Courtney D. Dressing, Emma V. Turtelboom +17
A goal of the future Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to directly image and spectroscopically characterize true Earth-analogs. However, if a large fraction of HWO target stars…
Searching for Additional Planets in TESS Multi-Planet Systems: Testing Empirical Models Based on Kepler Data
Emma V. Turtelboom, Jamie Dietrich, Courtney D. Dressing +1
Multi-planet system architectures are frequently used to constrain possible formation and evolutionary pathways of observed exoplanets. Therefore, understanding the predictive and…
