The HWO Astrophysics Science Program

Le résumé fourni par la source

[Presented at AAS-248 Special Session "Everything but Exoplanets: The Transformative General Astrophysics of the Habitable Worlds Observatory"] The HWO astrophysics science themes center on the Evolution of the Elements and Galaxy Growth. Building on extensive community input, we have identified four key science cases that are likely to drive HWO capabilities: the baryon cycle in and around galaxies across cosmic time; the production and escape of ionizing radiation from stars and galaxies; the sources of heavy elements; and cosmic expansion and the Hubble constant. In this talk, I will briefly discuss each of these science cases and the ways in which they shape the mission’s observational and instrumental requirements.
