A Science Interest Group (SIG) consists of members interested in a specific sub-field of Cosmic Origins science (e.g., stars and stellar atmospheres, galaxies, 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.
