The 2nd PRIMA Community Workshop

DATE

March 21 – 22, 2023

TIME

11:00 am EST

TYPE

Seminar

PRIMA is a concept for a space telescope mission in the far infrared (25 – 260 µm), to be submitted later this year to the NASA Announcement of Opportunity for an Astrophysics Probe Explorer (APEX) mission. In overall observing time allocation, PRIMA will be primarily a General Observer mission, and we welcome all astronomers interested in science enabled by far-infrared observations to participate.

Participants will have an opportunity to present their science case within breakout sessions. Following the workshop, attendees are invited to expand their slides into a brief (2 – 3 pages) contribution with an expected submission deadline in June. These contributions, and others from the community, will be assembled into a PRIMA Science Book to be published on the astro-ph arXiv in the fall, with appropriate credit for each presented science case. The goal is to highlight the rich assortment of research topics that the PRIMA GO Program will enable.

A draft agenda and registration information can be found on the workshop site.

Detailed information and a link for registration are available on the Workshop page. Be sure to register to receive the Zoom connection information and further details. If you can’t attend the Workshop but would like to contribute to the Science Book, please register to receive these details.

More information on the PRIMA mission concept can be found on the PRIMA web site.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
