| Abstract: |
Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) will search for biosignatures from Earth-size exoplanets in the habitable zones of nearby stars. The wavelength range and spectra quality are critical drivers for HWO architecture designs and science return. Spectra in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) are desired for Oz_3z detection and in the near-infrared (NIR) for COz_2z and CHz_4z. To evaluate these yields, we developed a capability to perform a significant number of end-to-end yield simulations in a multivariate parameter sweep in the NUV, Visible, and NIR. By exploring the wavelength range and spectral quality over a broad architecture space, the multivariate parameter sensitivity reveals the intricacies within the complex architecture trade space and helps to inform high-level science performance requirements for the Living Worlds Working Group (LWWG) Science Case. |
