Amendment 12: New Opportunity Outer Heliosphere GI

Amendment 12 creates a new opportunity in ROSES-19 though program element B.13 Outer Heliosphere Guest Investigators (OH-GI).

The Outer Heliosphere Guest Investigators (OH-GI) program, solicits proposals that focus on analysis of data from Voyager, the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX), and other space assets that generate data enabling the study of the outer heliosphere. This program is intended to maximize the scientific return from these mature missions by providing support for research beyond presently funded investigations. It may also act to inform future exploration and investigation opportunities of interstellar space. Funded investigators (PIs and Co-Is) of this solicitation will be considered Guest Investigators of Voyager and/or IBEX for the duration of the award and will be invited to attend and present progress at Voyager and IBEX team meetings.

Step-1 proposals are due October 17, 2019 and 10-page Step-2 proposals are due by December 3, 2019.

Eligible proposers who have already submitted to Heliophysics Guest Investigators Open (H-GIO) a Step-1 proposal with the same (or essentially the same) team and objectives may either submit a full (Step-2) proposal to H-GIO or submit Step-1 and Full (10-page) Step-2 proposals to this call instead.

Questions concerning this program element may be directed to Arik Posner at arik.posner@nasa.gov.

The image is divided horizontally by an undulating line between a cloudscape forming a nebula along the bottom portion and a comparatively clear upper portion. Speckled across both portions is a starfield, showing innumerable stars of many sizes. The smallest of these are small, distant, and faint points of light. The largest of these appear larger, closer, brighter, and more fully resolved with 8-point diffraction spikes. The upper portion of the image is blueish, and has wispy translucent cloud-like streaks rising from the nebula below. The orangish cloudy formation in the bottom half varies in density and ranges from translucent to opaque. The stars vary in color, the majority of which have a blue or orange hue. The cloud-like structure of the nebula contains ridges, peaks, and valleys – an appearance very similar to a mountain range. Three long diffraction spikes from the top right edge of the image suggest the presence of a large star just out of view.
