The MUSCLES Treasury Survey. V. FUV Flares on Active and Inactive M Dwarfs
R. O. Parke Loyd, Kevin France, Allison Youngblood +10
M dwarf stars are known for their vigorous flaring. This flaring could impact the climate of orbiting planets, making it important to characterize M dwarf flares at the short wavel…
The Origins Space Telescope: Towards An Understanding of Temperate Planetary Atmospheres
Jonathan Fortney, Tiffany Kataria, Kevin Stevenson +46
The Origins Space Telescope (OST) is one of four mission concepts currently being studied by NASA in preparation for the Astrophysics 2020 Decadal Survey. With active cooling (~4 K…
Exploring Extreme Space Weather Factors of Exoplanetary Habitability
V. S. Airapetian, V. Adibekyan, M. Ansdell +46
It is currently unknown how common life is on exoplanets, or how long planets can remain viable for life. To date, we have a superficial notion of habitability, a necessary first s…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Remotely Detectable Biosignatures
Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Nancy Y. Kiang, Niki Parenteau +38
For the first time in human history, we will soon be able to apply the scientific method to the question "Are We Alone?" The rapid advance of exoplanet discovery, planetary systems…
SUPERSHARP - Segmented Unfolding Primary for Exoplanet Research via Spectroscopic High Angular Resolution Photography
Ian Parry, Didier Queloz, Grant Kennedy +20
We propose to search for biosignatures in the spectra of reflected light from about 100 Earth-sized planets that are already known to be orbiting in their habitable zones (HZ). For…
Life Beyond the Solar System: Space Weather and Its Impact on Habitable Worlds
V. S. Airapetian, W. C. Danchi, C. F. Dong +33
The search of life in the Universe is a fundamental problem of astrobiology and a major priority for NASA. A key area of major progress since the NASA Astrobiology Strategy 2015 (N…
