April 22, 2019 Today astronomers announced that they had discovered the 27th exoplanet known to have approximately the same mass and temperature as the Earth. They don’t know what it is made of or whether it has an atmosphere. But they are excited because it circles a well-known nearby star and the planet might be searched for life in another decade or so. 2 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope April 22, 2019 Today astronomers announced that they had discovered the 27th exoplanet known to have approximately the same mass and temperature as the Earth. They released this photo of the Tau Ceti planetary system, lying just 16 light years away. At the center of the image is a black dot where the light from the star has been removed. Three major planets are visible. Of particular interest is the pale blue dot to the right of the black dot. Detailed study has shown this planet has oceans, polar caps, and two continents the size of Australia. Cloud banks drift across the landscape. Not only is the equatorial temperature a pleasant 80F, the atmosphere is equal parts oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide and appears breathable. Scientists speculate this atmosphere can only be the result of abundant plant life3 in the ocean and on the land. 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope Where Next with Space Missions for Exoplanets? • There Has Been Stunning Progress in Study of Exoplanets – It takes 10 to 20 years to launch a space observatory – 14 years ago this field didn’t exist – where will it be in 20 years with or without space???? • A Space Exoplanet Mission Must Have A – Dramatic Leap In Sensitivity and Inner Working Angle – High Quality Spectroscopy – Capability WAAAAAY Beyond What We have Seen So Far • Otherwise the Mission Will Be Rendered Mundane • In Short We Need High Quality Spectroscopy of Earth-twins – And broad capability to study planetary systems in detail – Anything less would be a gamble 4 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope NWO Team Membership: Organizations, Roles, and Leads • Team consist of 43 active members – 9 organizations are participating • Additional involvement is provided from each organization and includes technical area experts and graduate/undergraduate students • Organizations, Roles and Leads: – Colorado University: PI, Science, Optical Design, and Systems Analysis: Webster Cash – Northrop Grumman: Deputy PI and Starshade Development: Amy Lo – Ball Aerospace Technology Corporation: Telescope Development: Charley Noecker – USNO: Astrometry: Rachel Dudik – NASA GRC: Occulter (Starshade) Propulsion: Scott Benson – KinetX: Mission Design and Navigation: Bobby Williams – GSI: Lead Scientist: Maggie Turnbull – University College of London: Exoplanet Spectra Modeling: Giovanna Tinetti – NASA GSFC: Study Management: Kate Hartman 5 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope Overview • New Worlds Observer – NIAC Study 2005-2007 $400k – Breakthrough in Apodization Revived Old Idea • ASMCS Study - 2008-now Results on http://newworlds.colorado.edu • BUT WE HAVE: – A buildable, affordable design – Demonstrated full 10-10 contrast in the lab – Showed starshades will bring unparalleled scientific return – The only path to Habitable Planets and Life in the coming decade – Shown can be fully implemented in 10 years 6 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope The New Worlds Observer • The telescope is shaded from the star by the starshade – Beside a vanishingly small residual signal, starlight never enters the telescope Starshade 100% of the planet light still reaches the telescope 7 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope A Starshade Can Work with Any Telescope 1.2m 4m 10m 2.4m 8 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope NWO’s Scientific Return • Map Over 100 Neighboring Planetary Systems • Perform Spectroscopy of Nearby Exoplanets • Measure Planetary System Characteristics • Perform General Astronomy • Address Most of NASA’s Astrophysics Goals And • Search for Habitable Planets with a completeness of 30 • Search for Life by measuring biomarkers such as oxygen and water 9 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope Map Over 100 Planetary Systems • Prime Goal is Exploration of the Solar Neighborhood Uranus • NWO will allow us to Galaxies make maps of over 100 nearby planetary systems from the habitable zone outward Zodiacal Light Jupiter • Detect and classify all Saturn major planets Neptune 10 10 arcseconds 25 Aug 2008 NWO Science Telescope Map Over 100 Planetary Systems Export Control Notice Export or re-export of information contained herein may be subject to restrictions and requirements of U.S. export laws and regulations and may require advance authorization from the U.S. Government.

Spitzer Observations of HD 92945 A circumstellar disk is a “debris disk” if the age of its host star exceeds the lifetimes IRAC 3.6, 4.5, 5.8, 8.0 µm and MIPS 24 and 70 µm of the dust grains.

Very-low-resolution (R~20) spectrum from 55-96 µm obtained in 2005 with MIPS SED mode under Program 241. Debris disks have small optical depths (τ ~ 10-3) and surround bright stars, so detection in scattered light is difficult without a coronagraph.

Received 2018 December 14; in original form 2018 November 5 ABSTRACT In the last few years, multiwavelength observations have revealed the ubiquity of gaps/rings in circumstellar discs. Here we report the first ALMA observations of HD 92945 at 0.86 mm, which reveal a gap at about 73 ± 3 au within a broad disc of planetesimals that extends from +10 50 to 140 au. We find that the gap is 20−8 au wide. If cleared by a planet in situ, this planet must be less massive than 0.6 MJup, or even lower if the gap was cleared by a planet that formed early in the protoplanetary disc and prevented planetesimal formation at that radius.

    Draft: Submitted to ApJ Supp. A Preprint typeset using LTEX style emulateapj v. 5/2/11 PRECISE RADIAL VELOCITIES OF 2046 NEARBY FGKM STARS AND 131 STANDARDS1 Carly Chubak2, Geoffrey W. Marcy2, Debra A. Fischer5, Andrew W. Howard2,3, Howard Isaacson2, John Asher Johnson4, Jason T. Wright6,7 (Received; Accepted) Draft: Submitted to ApJ Supp. ABSTRACT We present radial velocities with an accuracy of 0.1 km s−1 for 2046 stars of spectral type F,G,K, and M, based on ∼29000 spectra taken with the Keck I telescope. We also present 131 FGKM standard stars, all of which exhibit constant radial velocity for at least 10 years, with an RMS less than 0.03 km s−1. All velocities are measured relative to the solar system barycenter. Spectra of the Sun and of asteroids pin the zero-point of our velocities, yielding a velocity accuracy of 0.01 km s−1for G2V stars. This velocity zero-point agrees within 0.01 km s−1 with the zero-points carefully determined by Nidever et al. (2002) and Latham et al. (2002). For reference we compute the differences in velocity zero-points between our velocities and standard stars of the IAU, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and l’Observatoire de Geneve, finding agreement with all of them at the level of 0.1 km s−1. But our radial velocities (and those of all other groups) contain no corrections for convective blueshift or gravitational redshifts (except for G2V stars), leaving them vulnerable to systematic errors of ∼0.2 km s−1 for K dwarfs and ∼0.3 km s−1 for M dwarfs due to subphotospheric convection, for which we offer velocity corrections.

This virtual campaign of about 400 targets has already produced numerous new detections of previously unidentified point sources and circumstellar structures. We present five newly spatially resolved debris disks revealed in scattered light by our analysis of the archival data. These images provide new views of material around young solar-type stars at ages corresponding to the period of terrestrial planet formation in our solar system. We have also detected several new candidate substellar companions, for which there are ongoing followup campaigns (HST/WFC3 and VLT/SINFONI in ADI mode). Since the methods developed as part of ALICE are directly applicable to future missions (JWST, AFTA corona- graph) we emphasize the importance of devising optimal PSF subtraction methods for upcoming coronagraphic imaging missions.
