COPAG Community Meeting

This session is a community meeting of the NASA Cosmic Origins Program Analysis Group (COPAG). The COPAG is responsible for soliciting and coordinating community input into the development and execution of NASA's Cosmic Origins Program (COP). The COPAG serves as a community-based, interdisciplinary forum for analysis in support of Cosmic Origins objectives and of their implications for architecture planning, activity prioritization and for future exploration. It provides findings and analyses to NASA through the NASA Advisory Council (NAC) within which the COPAG Chair is a member of the Astrophysics Subcommittee. We will present a description of the on-going COPAG activities and tasks. We will outline how the COPAG plans to operate in the near future. All interested AAS meeting attendees are encouraged to come and participate and provide their thoughts and suggestions.

Angled from the upper left corner to the lower right corner is a cone-shaped orange-red cloud known as Herbig-Haro 49/50. This feature takes up about three-fourths of the length of this angle. The upper left end of this feature has a translucent, rounded end. The conical feature widens slightly from the rounded end at the upper right down to the lower right. Along the cone there are additional rounded edges, like edges of a wave, and intricate foamy-like details, as well as a clearer view of the black background of space. In the upper left, overlapping with the rounded end of Herbig-Haro 49/50, is a background spiral galaxy with a concentrated blue center that fades outward to blend with red spiral arms. The background of space is speckled with some white stars and smaller, more numerous, fainter white galaxies throughout.
