Chair: Prof. Ryan Hickox (Dartmouth College; Chair of NASA’s Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group)

Agenda

Speaker	Topic
Prof. Ryan Hickox	An introduction to NASA astrophysics programs and an overview of opportunities to engage with NASA science for scientists at all levels
Arianna Long	New research results in cosmology and galaxy evolution related to NASA's Physics of the Cosmos program, which asks the question "How does the Universe work?"
Steven Villaneuva	New research results about giant planets, associated with NASA's Exoplanet Exploration program, asking the question "Are we alone?"
Aida Wooford	Research results related to the formation of stars, as part of NASA's Cosmic Origins program, asking the question "How did we get here?"

Get involved by joining a Science Interest Group

A Science Interest Group (SIG) consists of members interested in a specific sub-field of Physics of the Cosmos science (e.g., gravitational waves, gamma rays, etc.). These groups typically meet regularly to discuss and share scientific results, analysis techniques, and scientific gaps, as well as the role of NASA in advancing that sub-field. SIGs may also identify the data and technology needs that can help advance scientific discovery in the sub-field. Missions, data, and technologies from across the entire NASA portfolio are often utilized by SIGs.

Gravitational Wave (GW SIG) (Chairs: Sean McWilliams and Eric Burns): Coordinate community activities and preparations for a future gravitational wave mission.
X-ray (XR SIG) (Chairs: Ryan Hickox, Grant Tremblay, David Pooley, and Kristin Madsen): Coordinate community activities and preparations for a future X-ray astronomy mission.
Gamma Ray (GR SIG or GammaSIG) (Chairs: Bindu Rani, Justin Finke, and Eric Burns): Coordinate community activities and preparations for a future gamma ray astronomy mission.
Cosmic Ray (CR SIG) (Chairs: Andrew Romero-Wolf and Athina Meli): Coordinate community activities and preparations for a future cosmic ray astronomy mission.
Cosmic Structure (CoS SIG) (Chairs: Vera Gluscevic): Coordinate community activities for future space activities concerning the nature of dark energy, dark matter, neutrinos, and tests of inflation, as well as astrophysical galaxy evolution.
