The future of high-resolution UV spectroscopy: Science with a UV Échelle spectrograph on the Habitable Worlds Observatory, or a dedicated mission

Annalisa De Cia, David Cont, Kevin Heng +39

High-resolution UV spectroscopy serves a diversity of science cases, from small bodies to planets, stars, and galaxies, but is currently limited to the Hubble Space Telescope and b…

The role of the Hubble Space Telescope in advancing our understanding of atmospheric escape in exoplanets

Leonardo A. Dos Santos, Arika Egan, Kevin France +14

An important evolutionary pathway for planetary atmospheres is escape to space, which has been studied on Earth and Mars for several decades and more recently in exoplanets. A part…

The unique ability of the Hubble Space Telescope to characterize young exoplanet environments

Keighley E. Rockcliffe, Allison Youngblood, Kevin France +10

The chemical and mass evolution of exoplanet atmospheres is shaped by their specific X-ray through ultraviolet (5 - 3200 Angstroms) irradiance history. X-ray and EUV (5 - 911 Angst…

The MUSCLES Extension for Atmospheric Transmission Spectroscopy: Spectral energy distributions for 20 exoplanet host stars that JWST observed in Cycle 1

David J. Wilson, Allison Youngblood, Girish M. Duvvuri +11

Correctly interpreting JWST spectra of close-in exoplanets requires a measurement of the X-ray and ultraviolet light that the planets receive from their host stars. Here we provide…

X-ray and UV Observations of the Young Sun HIP~67522: Evidence of Lyman-alpha Absorption Within the Planetary System

Cynthia S. Froning, Allison Youngblood, David J. Wilson +7

We present ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopy of the 17 Myr, G0V star, HIP 67522. The UV spectrum is characterized by strong chromospheric and transition region emission lines. There wa…

A Semi-Empirical Estimate of Solar EUV Evolution from 10 Myr to 10 Gyr

Kevin France, Girish Duvvuri, Cynthia Froning +9

The extreme-ultraviolet (EUV; 100 -- 911 Å) spectra of F, G, K, and M stars provide diagnostics of the stellar chromosphere through the corona, with line and continuum formation te…

Evidence of a Disk-wind Origin for Fluorescent H in Classical T Tauri Stars

Matt Kalscheur, Kevin France, Brunella Nisini +8

We use FUV spectra of 36 T Tauri stars, predominately from 's ULLYSES program, to examine the kinematic properties of fluorescent H emission li…

The Mega-MUSCLES Treasury Survey: X-ray to infrared Spectral Energy Distributions of a representative sample of M dwarfs

David J. Wilson, Cynthia S. Froning, Girish M. Duvvuri +15

We present 5-1x10^7 Angstrom spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for twelve M dwarf stars covering spectral types M0-M8. Our SEDs are provided for community use as a sequel to the…

The Featherweight Giant: Unraveling the Atmosphere of a 17 Myr Planet with JWST

Pa Chia Thao, Andrew W. Mann, Adina D. Feinstein +29

The characterization of young planets (< 300 Myr) is pivotal for understanding planet formation and evolution. We present the 3-5m transmission spectrum of the 17 Myr, Jupiter-s…

A Model of the C IV 1548, 1550 Doublet Line in T Tauri Stars

Thanawuth Thanathibodee, Connor Robinson, Nuria Calvet +7

The C IV doublet in the UV has long been associated with accretion in T Tauri stars. However, it is still unclear where and how the lines are formed. Here, we present a new C IV li…

Reconstructing the Extreme Ultraviolet Emission of Cool Dwarfs Using Differential Emission Measure Polynomials

Girish M. Duvvuri, J. Sebastian Pineda, Zachory K. Berta-Thompson +16

Characterizing the atmospheres of planets orbiting M dwarfs requires understanding the spectral energy distributions of M dwarfs over planetary lifetimes. Surveys like MUSCLES, HAZ…

The fastest components in stellar jets

Hans Moritz Günther, Catherine Espaillat, Kevin France +8

Young stars accrete mass from a circumstellar disk, but at the same time disk and star eject outflows and jets. These outflows have an onion-like structure where the innermost and…

The MUSCLES Treasury Survey II: Intrinsic Lyman Alpha and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectra of K and M Dwarfs with Exoplanets

Allison Youngblood, Kevin France, R. O. Parke Loyd +9

The ultraviolet (UV) spectral energy distributions of low-mass (K- and M-type) stars play a critical role in the heating and chemistry of exoplanet atmospheres, but are not observa…

The MUSCLES Treasury Survey I: Motivation and Overview

Kevin France, R. O. Parke Loyd, Allison Youngblood +18

Ground- and space-based planet searches employing radial velocity techniques and transit photometry have detected thousands of planet-hosting stars in the Milky Way. The chemistry…

The Evolution of Inner Disk Gas in Transition Disks

Keri Hoadley, Kevin France, Richard D Alexander +2

Investigating the molecular gas in the inner regions of protoplanetary disks provides insight into how the molecular disk environment changes during the transition from primordial…
