Amendment 11: D.17 X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission Guest Scientist Program Final Text and Due Date Released.

The X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) is a JAXA-NASA collaborative mission with ESA participation that will offer soft X-ray (~0.3–12 keV) spectroscopy, with complementary CCD imaging resolution over a wide field of view. Through X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission Guest Scientist Program (XGS), scientists who are not XRISM Science Team members may apply to participate in the observation planning and data analysis of individual Performance Verification phase targets

ROSES-2022 Amendment 11 releases final text and due dates for ROSES-22 D.17 XGS, which had been listed as "TBD". Neither NOIs nor Step-1 proposals are requested. Proposals are due July 21, 2022. Proposals will be evaluated via dual-anonymous peer review.

On or about April 18, 2022, this Amendment to the NASA Research Announcement "Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Sciences (ROSES) 2022" (NNH22ZDA001N) will be posted on the NASA research opportunity homepage at https://solicitation.nasaprs.com/ROSES2022.

The programmatic point of contact concerning policies governing D.17 XGS is Valerie Connaughton who may be reached at valerie.connaughton@nasa.gov. Technical questions regarding XRISM may be directed to Brian Williams at brian.j.williams@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.
