ROSES-23 Astrophysics Decadal Survey Precursor Science: Notice of Intent

26 March 2024

The Astrophysics Decadal Survey Precursor Science (ADSPS, D.16) program supports research in areas related to the recommendations from the National Academy of Science and Engineering Astro2020 Decadal survey report, "Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the 2020s" for 1) a large Infrared/Optical/Ultraviolet space mission to search for biosignatures from nearby exoplanets and to perform transformative astrophysics investigations, 2) a large Far Infrared mission, and 3) a large X-ray mission.

The Mandatory Notice of Intent for this proposal call is due on 29 March 2024 and the proposal deadline is 26 April 2024.

Against a black background, a peculiar galaxy is in the center and takes up most of the frame. This asymmetrical object has distorted spiral arms that extend to the left, above, and to the lower right. The galaxy’s arms are light orange and are not smooth or solid in texture, instead resembling blots and streaks of paint. The galaxy’s distorted spiral arms are overlaid by a light blue ridge of blurry blotches, which are brightest and heaviest in the center and fainter toward the left, ending before the orange areas. The blue blotches also extend to the bottom at the center and faintly toward the top center, but are not seen toward the right. A bright, almost-white orange point is near the center right and has a hazy halo surrounding it, taking up about a tenth of the image. Over the majority of the image is a semi-transparent, elliptical-shaped area that has a white, fuzzy glow.
