Assessing the Impact of Varying HSO Cross Sections on Photochemical Models: Implications for the Spectral Characterization of Terrestrial Exoplanets
Alexandre Branco, Clara Sousa-Silva, Wynter Broussard +5
Characterization of exoplanet atmospheres requires a close interplay between observations, modelling and experimental data. The accuracy of input data used in atmospheric models is…
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO): Living Worlds Community Working Group: The Search for Life on Potentially Habitable Exoplanets
Giada Arney, Niki Parenteau, Natalie Hinkel +25
The discovery of a biosphere on another planet would transform how we view ourselves, and our planet Earth, in relation to the rest of the cosmos. We now know Earth is one planet a…
NASA Decadal Astrobiology Research and Exploration Strategy (NASA-DARES 2025) White Paper -- Habitable Worlds Observatory Living Worlds Science Cases: Research Gaps and Needs
Niki Parenteau, Giada Arney, Eleanora Alei +28
Executive Summary: The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is the first astrophysics flagship mission with a key cross-divisional astrobiology science goal of searching for signs of…
Observation of undepleted phosphine in the atmosphere of a low-temperature brown dwarf
Adam J. Burgasser, Eileen C. Gonzales, Samuel A. Beiler +16
The atmospheres of low-temperature brown dwarfs and gas giant planets are expected to contain the phosphine molecule, PH However, previous observations have shown much lower ab…
The Discovery of 25 um Interstellar Methanol
Sarah L. Nickerson, Naseem Rangwala, Keeyoon Sung +15
We present the first astrophysical detection of methanol (CH3OH) in the torsional band near 25 um. Using high resolution mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy, we identified over seventy…
Wavelength Requirements for Life Detection via Reflected Light Spectroscopy of Rocky Exoplanets
Joshua Krissansen-Totton, Anna Grace Ulses, Maxwell Frissell +21
Searching for signs of life is a primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). However, merely detecting oxygen, methane, or other widely discussed biosignatures is insuf…
