Detectability of Surface Biosignatures for Directly-Imaged Rocky Exoplanets

by Keith Cowing

Modeling the detection of life has never been more opportune. With next generation space telescopes, like the currently developing Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) concept, we will begin to characterize rocky […]
