Moderate to high spectral resolution (R>1000) provides higher sensitivity for detecting key molecules like H2O and O2 in Earth analogs than low resolution (R~140), as correlated speckle noise can suppress detections at low resolutions.

Characterizing Earth analogs may require a moderate or high-resolution spectrograph
Moderate to high spectral resolution (R>1000) provides higher sensitivity for detecting key molecules like H2O and O2 in Earth analogs than low resolution (R~140), as correlated speckle noise can suppress detections at low resolutions.

The effect of spectral resolution on biosignature detection via reflected light observations of the Earth through time
Nominal HWO resolutions suffice to detect key biosignatures across Archean to Phanerozoic Earth atmospheres, with O3 enabling indirect low-O2 detection and NIR resolution preventing CO2-CO false positives.
