HWO Solar System at 5 Parsecs
Simulated view of an Earth-like exoplanet system as seen by the Habitable Worlds Observatory. Shows realistic coronagraph speckle patterns and planetary motion.
Simulations and visualizations from my research on exoplanet direct imaging, coronagraphy, and mission scheduling.

Full HWO survey simulation: EXOSIMS schedules targets and coronagraphoto renders each observation as the telescope visits stars across the sky.
Side-by-side comparison of different coronagraph architectures and their performance characteristics for HWO.
A radial velocity signal from a 7 planet system with noise, showing the complexity of real-world RV data.
Randomly sampling different orbital inclinations to make probabilistic statements about planet visibility.
The photometric constraint determines when a planet is bright enough to be detected by the coronagraph.
