What is LUVOIR ? Large Mission Concept Studies Kick Off - Jan 6, 2016  Born out of the 2013 Astrophysics Visionary Roadmap Other LUVOIR-like concepts: ATLAST, HDST  General purpose, multi-wavelength observatory with broad science capabilities 2

Leap forward in cosmic origins science Large Mission Concept Studies Kick Off - Jan 6, 2016 Measure protoplanetary disk structure Uncover the archaeology of all nearby galaxies Characterize early black holes & their feedback Characterize the first starlight & map the epoch of reionization LUVOIR Surveyor 3

Leap forward in exoplanet science Large Mission Concept Studies Kick Off - Jan 6, 2016 Study the atmospheres of a broad range of exoplanets Search for signs of habitable environments LUVOIR Surveyor 4

LUVOIR as envisaged by the PAGs  Notional ! – all to be determined by the STDT  Primary science goals Broad range of cosmic origins science Direct imaging of Earth analogs, search for biosignatures  Capabilities FUV to NIR wavelength sensitivity Some suite of imagers and spectrographs High-contrast capability ( ~ 10 −10 ) Aperture diameter of order 8 – 16 m Large Mission Concept Studies Kick Off - Jan 6, 20165

Lots to do … We need you ! Large Mission Concept Studies Kick Off - Jan 6, 20166
