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…
Characterizing Transiting Exoplanet Atmospheres in the 2030s with the Hubble Space Telescope
Joshua D. Lothringer, Hannah R. Wakeford, Robert C. Frazier +7
The Hubble Space Telescope inaugurated the era of exoplanet atmospheric characterization. While the James Webb Space Telescope has largely taken up the mantle of infrared atmospher…
Transiting exoplanets as the immediate future for population-level atmospheric science
Joanna K. Barstow, Hannah R. Wakeford, Sarah L. Casewell +1
The transit method, during which a planet's presence is inferred by measuring the reduction in flux as it passes in front of its parent star, is a highly successful exoplanet detec…
Exoplanet characterization with NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory
Joanna K. Barstow, Beth Biller, Mei Ting Mak +3
Exoplanet atmosphere characterization has seen revolutionary advances over the last few years, providing us with unique insights into atmospheric chemistry, dynamics and planet for…
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…
Exoplanet Atmospheric Escape Observations with the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Eric D. Lopez, Luca Fossati +15
The Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020 highlights the importance of advancing research focused on discovering and characterizing habitable worlds. In line with this…
ExoTiC-LD: thirty seconds to stellar limb-darkening coefficients
David Grant, Hannah R. Wakeford
Stellar limb darkening is the observed variation in brightness of a star between its centre and edge (or limb) when viewed in the plane of the sky. Stellar brightness is maximal at…
The Unrealised Interdisciplinary Advantage of Observing High Mass Transiting Exoplanets and Brown Dwarfs -- Strategic Exoplanet Initiatives with HST and JWST White Paper
Aarynn L. Carter, Munazza. K. Alam, Thomas Beatty +8
We advocate for further prioritisation of atmospheric characterisation observations of high mass transiting exoplanets and brown dwarfs. This population acts as a unique comparativ…
Keys of a Mission to Uranus or Neptune, the Closest Ice Giants
Tristan Guillot, Jonathan Fortney, Emily Rauscher +26
Uranus and Neptune are the archetypes of "ice giants", a class of planets that may be among the most common in the Galaxy. They hold the keys to understand the atmospheric dynamics…
ExoTiC-ISM: A Python package for marginalised exoplanet transit parameters across a grid of systematic instrument models
Iva Laginja, Hannah R. Wakeford
To address the the problem of calibration of instrument systematics in transit light curves, we present the Python package ExoTiC-ISM. Transit spectroscopy can reveal many differen…
