Simulating the WFIRST coronagraph Integral Field Spectrograph
Maxime J. Rizzo, Tyler D. Groff, Neil T. Zimmerman +12
A primary goal of direct imaging techniques is to spectrally characterize the atmospheres of planets around other stars at extremely high contrast levels. To achieve this goal, cor…
Commissioning and performance results of the WFIRST/PISCES integral field spectrograph
Prabal Saxena, Maxime J. Rizzo, Camilo Mejia Prada +6
The Prototype Imaging Spectrograph for Coronagraphic Exoplanet Studies (PISCES) is a high contrast integral field spectrograph (IFS) whose design was driven by WFIRST coronagraph i…
A Model of the Primordial Lunar Atmosphere
Prabal Saxena, Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Noah Petro +1
We create the first quantitative model for the early lunar atmosphere, coupled with a magma ocean crystallization model. Immediately after formation, the moon's surface was subject…
Relevance of Tidal Heating on Large TNOs
Prabal Saxena, Joe Renaud, Wade G. Henning +2
We examine the relevance of tidal heating for large Trans-Neptunian Objects, with a focus on its potential to melt and maintain layers of subsurface liquid water. Depending on thei…
