Amendment 23: D.5 Swift Cycle 19 Update on Joint Observations with NICER.

ROSES-2022 Program element D.5, the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory General Investigator - Cycle 19 Program (D.5 Swift) 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. Swift is also a valuable asset for obtaining multiwavelength images, spectra, and light curves on interesting Targets of Opportunity (ToOs) and other non-transient sources

ROSES-2022 Amendment 23 adds to D.5 Swift a new joint observing opportunity with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Experiment (NICER) mission. Programs requiring the use of both observatories to meet their primary science goals may now be awarded NICER observing time directly through the D.5 Swift. New text is in bold. The due date remains unchanged: Phase-1 proposals are due at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time via ARK/RPS by 09/22/2022.

On or about June 7, 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 and will appear on SARA's ROSES blog at: https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/grant-solicitations/roses-2022/

Programmatic information may be obtained from Mario Perez at mario.perez@nasa.gov and technical questions concerning this program element may be directed to Brad Cenko at brad.cenko@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.
