Cosmic  Origins  QuesCons  

•  How  did  we  get  here?  –  How  and  when  did  galaxies  form?  –  How  do  stars  form,  evolve,  and  eventually  die?  –  How  are  maEer  and  the  chemical  elements  distributed  throughout  the  universe?

COPAG  Tasks  (Anyone  in  the  scienCfic  community  may  parCcipate)  •  Solicit  and  coordinate  community  input  into  the  development  

and  execuCon  of  NASA’s  Cosmic  Origins  (COR)  Program  

•  Analyze  input  in  support  of  the  planning  of  future  COR  acCviCes  

•  Specific  types  of  tasks  include  –  ArCculaCng  and  prioriCzing  key  science  drivers  for  COR  research  –  EvaluaCng  capabiliCes  of  potenCal  missions  for  achieving  COR  science  

goals  –  Providing  input  and  analysis  on  related  acCviCes  (e.g.,  theory,  laboratory  

astrophysics,  suborbital  invesCgaCons,  data  archiving,  etc)  needed  to  achieve  COR  science  goals  

–  IdenCfying  focus  areas  for  technologies  needed  to  advance  COR  science  

•  All  input  is  provided  to  the  NASA  Astrophysics  SubcommiEee,  which  reports  to  the  Director  of  NASA’s  Astrophysics  Division

2015  Science  Analysis  Groups  (SAGs)    and  Science  Interest  Groups  (SIGs)  

•  SAG  #8:  Science  Enabled  by  the  WFIRST-­‐AFTA  Data  Archive  

•  SAG  #9:  Science  Enabled  by  Spitzer  ObservaCons  Prior  to  JWST  Launch  

•  SIG  #1:  Far-­‐Infrared  Cosmic  Origins  Science  and  Technology  Development  

•  SIG  #2:  Ultraviolet  and  Visible  Cosmic  Origins  Space-­‐Based  Science  and  Technology  Development

SAG  #8:  Cosmic  Origins  Science  Enabled  by    the  WFIRST-­‐AFTA  Data  Archive  

•  WFIRST-­‐AFTA  will  produce  a  huge  archive  for  research  related  to  Cosmic  Origins

SAG  #8:  Cosmic  Origins  Science  Enabled  by    the  WFIRST-­‐AFTA  Data  Archive  

•  Analyze  how  the  archive  is  to  be  used  and  scope  the  data  requirements  necessary  to  conduct  COR  science  

•  Solicit  community  input  to  idenCfy  the  types  of  invesCgaCons  and  the  kinds  of  data  products  that  are  valued  and  needed  

•  Consider  what  other  assets  or  efforts  may  be  needed  to  maximize  the  science  return  from  the  WFIRST  archive    –  E.g.,  CoordinaCon  with  LSST,  Euclid,  or  JWST;  GO  funding  for  ground-­‐based  observaCons  or  theoreCcal  studies

SAG  #9:  Science  Enabled  by  Spitzer  ObservaCons  Prior  to  JWST  Launch  

•  Engage  the  astronomical  community  in  idenCfying  compelling  science  to  be  done  with  JWST  that  is  enabled  by  or  benefits  from  large  blocks  of  Spitzer  observing  Cme.  

9  

 Science  areas  to  be  explored  include:  -­‐  Extrasolar  planets  and  planetary  systems  -­‐  ProperCes  and  structures  of  the  Milky  Way  -­‐  Nearby  galaxies  -­‐  Galaxy  evoluCon  and  cosmology  

   Within  these  areas,  the  unique  contribuCons  that  Spitzer  observaCons  can  offer  are  being  considered.

Decadal  Survey  Planning  for  Large  Missions  

•  Far  IR  Surveyor  •  Habitable  Exoplanet  Imaging  Mission  •  UV/OpKcal/IR  Surveyor  •  X-­‐ray  Surveyor  

11  

All  of  these  missions  would  enable  Cosmic  Origins  science.        

The  COPAG  ExecuCve  CommiEee  will  be  soliciCng  your  input  on  these  missions  and  any  others  you  believe  address  the  charge  given  

to  the  PAGs  by  NASA  HQ.
