The Accretion Explorer Interferometer (AEI) Phase I NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts Final Report
Kimberly A. Weaver, Jenna M. Cann, Kenneth Carpenter +30
We must create superb X-ray images to understand the detailed physical processes behind some of the most powerful astronomical objects. The need to achieve this capability has been…
The high energy universe at ultra-high resolution: the power and promise of X-ray interferometry
Phil Uttley, Roland den Hartog, Cosimo Bambi +24
We propose the development of X-ray interferometry (XRI), to reveal the universe at high energies with ultra-high spatial resolution. With baselines which can be accommodated on a…
High Contrast Observations of Bright Stars with a Starshade
Anthony Harness, Webster Cash, Steve Warwick
Starshades are a leading technology to enable the direct detection and spectroscopic characterization of Earth-like exoplanets. In an effort to advance starshade technology through…
The search for habitable worlds: 1. The viability of a starshade mission
Margaret C. Turnbull, Tiffany Glassman, Aki Roberge +6
As part of NASA's mission to explore habitable planets orbiting nearby stars, this paper explores the detection and characterization capabilities of a 4-m space telescope plus 50-m…
Detecting the warm-hot intergalactic medium through X-ray absorption lines
Yangsen Yao, J. Michael Shull, Q. Daniel Wang +1
The warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) at temperatures 1E5-1E7 K is believed to contain 30-50% of the baryons in the local universe. However, all current X-ray detections of the…
Analytic Modeling of Starshades
Webster Cash
External occulters, otherwise known as starshades, have been proposed as a solution to one of the highest priority yet technically vexing problems facing astrophysics - the direct…
