Paving the Road to the Habitable Worlds Observatory with High-Resolution Imaging I: New and Archival Speckle Observations of Potential HWO Target Stars
Zachary D. Hartman, Catherine A. Clark, Michael B. Lund +15
One of the key goals of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is to directly image about 25 potentially habitable exoplanets and determine their properties. This challenge will re…
Direct imaging characterization of cool gaseous planets
Michiel Min, Jo Barstow, Laura C. Mayorga +19
Cool gas giant exoplanets, particularly those with properties similar to those of Jupiter and Saturn, remain poorly characterized due to current observational limitations. This whi…
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…
High-resolution Ultraviolet-to-nearinfrared Characterization of Exoplanet Atmospheres
Patricio E. Cubillos, Matteo Brogi, Antonio GarcÃa Muñoz +19
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) offers a unique opportunity to revolutionize our understanding of planetary formation and evolution. The goal of this Science Case Developmen…
Testing T2K's Bayesian constraints with priors in alternate parameterisations
The T2K Collaboration, K. Abe, S. Abe +400
Bayesian analysis results require a choice of prior distribution. In long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics, the usual parameterisation of the mixing matrix induces a prior tha…
Detecting and characterising the magnetic field of exoplanets
A. Strugarek, S. V. Berdyugina, V. Bourrier +25
Magnetic fields play a crucial role in planetary evolution and habitability. While the intrinsic magnetic fields of solar system planets are relatively well understood, the magneti…
