Exomoons and Exorings with the Habitable Worlds Observatory. II. Finding “Endor” with Lunar Eclipses
The Astronomical JournalGiant planets in the habitable zone may host exomoons with conditions conducive to life. In this paper, we describe a method by which the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) could detect such moons: broadband reflected-light lunar eclipses (e.g., the moon

Climates and Habitability of the Eccentric Super-Earth HD 20794 d: A Multi-parametric Investigation
The Astrophysical JournalHD 20794 d is one of the best examples of a super-Earth planet in the habitable zone of a Sun-like star. Notably, due to the high eccentricity ( e = 0.45 ${}_{-0.11}^{+0.10}$ ) it partially lies in the conservative habitable zone, suggesting a ...

TRAPPIST-1 d: Exo-Venus, Exo-Earth, or Exo-Dead?
The Astrophysical Journal LettersTRAPPIST-1 d is generally assumed to be at the boundary between a Venus-like world and an Earth-like world, although recently published works on TRAPPIST-1 b and c raise concerns that TRAPPIST-1 d may be similarly devoid of a substantial atmosphere ...

Planetesimal Scattering Efficiency of Cold Giant Planet Architectures
The Astronomical JournalThe discovery of many exoplanets has revealed an incredible diversity of orbital architectures. These orbital configurations are intrinsically linked to the potential for habitable environments within the system, since the gravitational influence of the ...

The Astrophysical JournalWe analyze four super-Earth exoplanets, LHS 1140 b, K2-18 b, TOI-1452 b, and TOI-1468 c, which orbit M dwarf stars in the habitable zone. Their relative proximity, within 40 pc, makes them prime candidates for follow-up observations and atmospheric and ...
