ROSES-24: D.5 Swift General Investigator Amendment: IXPE Joint Observing Program and Change to NuSTAR Exclusive-Use Period

26 June 2024

The ROSES opportunity D.5 Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory General Investigator (GI) - Cycle 21 solicits proposals for basic research relevant to the Swift gamma-ray burst mission. The primary goal of this mission is to determine the origin of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and use these bursts to probe the early Universe. Two changes have been made to D.5 Swift GI: 1) A joint GI observing program with Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer has been added and 2) all NuSTAR data acquired through the Swift GI Program will have a standard 6-month exclusive-use period, see Section 1.3.2. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through. The proposal due date is unchanged: Phase-1 proposals are due by 26 September 2024 at 4:30p Eastern (1:30p Pacific), via the Astrophysics Research Knowledgebase Remote Proposal System (ARK/RPS).

Programmatic information concerning D.5 Swift GI may be obtained from Mario Perez at mario.perez@nasa.gov and technical questions concerning this program element may be directed to Bindu Rani at bindu.rani@nasa.gov.
