abstract
The Large UV/Optical/Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR) mission is one of four Decadal Survey Mission Concepts studied by NASA in preparation for the US National Academies' Astro2020 Decadal Survey. This observatory has the major goal of characterizing a wide range of exoplanets, including those that might be habitable -- or even inhabited. It would simultaneously enable a great leap forward in a broad range of astrophysics -- from the epoch of reionization, through galaxy formation and evolution, to star and planet formation. Powerful remote sensing observations of Solar System bodies will also be possible. This Final Report on the LUVOIR study presents the scientific motivations and goals of the mission concept, the engineering design, and technology development information. Please refer to the LUVOIR Final Report Appendices (separate document) for additional information.

A template-matching simulation framework shows that R>1,000 spectrographs yield higher biosignature sensitivity than R~140 for Earth analogs, because correlated speckle noise can suppress detections at low resolution.
Updated RM modeling framework in TLCM validated on nine systems and applied to TOI-135 to measure sky-projected obliquity λ = 55.6° with ~11° uncertainties.
Climate states on exoplanets with the same atmospheric composition create different reflectance spectra, changing the detectability of atmospheric features and biosignatures, with seasonal variations on high-obliquity worlds adding time-dependent signals.
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.
