Paths to Robust Exoplanet Science Yield Margin for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Christopher C. Stark, Bertrand Mennesson, Steve Bryson +11
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will seek to detect and characterize potentially Earth-like planets around other stars. To ensure that the mission achieves the Astro2020 Dec…
Paving the Way to Future Missions: the Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Technology Demonstration
B. Mennesson, R. Juanola-Parramon, B. Nemati +33
This document summarizes how far the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument (Roman CGI) will go toward demonstrating high-contrast imaging and spectroscopic requi…
The ExoEarth Yield Landscape for Future Direct Imaging Space Telescopes
Christopher C. Stark, Rus Belikov, Matthew R. Bolcar +19
The expected yield of potentially Earth-like planets is a useful metric for designing future exoplanet-imaging missions. Recent yield studies of direct-imaging missions have focuse…
Technology Needs for Detecting Life Beyond the Solar System: A White Paper in Support of the Astrobiology Science Strategy
Nicholas Siegler, Matthew Bolcar, Brendan P Crill +3
In support of the Astrobiology Science Strategy, this whitepaper outlines some key technology challenges pertaining to the remote search for life in exoplanetary systems. Finding e…
The LUVOIR Ultraviolet Multi-Object Spectrograph (LUMOS): Instrument Definition and Design
Kevin France, Brian Fleming, Garrett West +12
The Large Ultraviolet / Optical / Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) is one of four large mission concepts currently undergoing community study for consideration by the 2020 Astronomy and…
ATLAST detector needs for direct spectroscopic biosignature characterization in the visible and near-IR
Bernard J. Rauscher, Matthew R. Bolcar, Mark Clampin +6
Are we alone? Answering this ageless question will be a major focus for astrophysics in coming decades. Our tools will include unprecedentedly large UV-Optical-IR space telescopes…
