Dear Physics of the Cosmos (PhysCOS) community members-

Join us today at 12 noon Eastern (9a Pacific) for a Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group (PhysPAG) community meeting to discuss the results of the recent Ad ASTRA Community Science Workshop and the PhysPAG Executive Committee’s initial assessment of the science priorities and capabilities emerging from it. We’ll briefly summarize the workshop and discuss the major science questions and capabilities that are driving our thinking as the three PAGs work toward the set of 4-6 trade spaces for further study. But most importantly, we want to hear from you:

What are we missing? What major science questions or capabilities are not adequately represented in the Astro2020 and Enduring Quests, Daring Visions [PDF] reports, or were not discussed in the Ad Astra Workshop? Are there capabilities that PhysPAG should consider essential to achieving its highest-priority science goals? And, as we work with COPAG and ExoPAG to develop the final set of trade spaces, what must PhysPAG advocate for?

PDFs of plenary talks, and oral and poster contributions, and recordings of plenary talks, are posted at the Ad ASTRA Workshop website. Of particular interest may be the Day 3 Workshop Synthesis talks and discussion.

You can join the meeting via Microsoft Teams, using the Meeting Connection information on the meeting webpage. Please use this Slido tool to submit any comments, questions, or feedback for the PhysPAG community meeting.

On behalf of your PhysPAG Executive Committee:

Manel Errando (WashU St. Louis), chair
Chien-Ting Chen (NASA MSFC), vice chair
Dave Pooley (Trinity University), chair emeritus
