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.

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.
