Amendment 79: TESS General Investigator Program (ROSES D.10) Final Text and Due Date Released

The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) General Investigator (GI) Program (ROSES D.10) solicits proposals for the acquisition and analysis of new scientific data from the TESS Explorer mission. Additionally, proposals that support the acquisition and/or analysis of scientific data from ground-based telescopes are solicited. Such ground-based programs must directly support the analysis and/or interpretation of TESS scientific data. Observations associated with TESS GI Cycle 6 will be executed from September 2023 until October 2024, covering observing sectors 70 - 83 (https://tess.mit.edu/tess-year-6-observations/). Proposals are solicited for targets in Northern Ecliptic Hemisphere fields and in fields along on the ecliptic plane. The observing plan for Cycle 6 will be posted at https://tess.gsfc.nasa.gov once finalized.

ROSES-2022 Amendment 79 releases final text and due dates for D.10 TESS GI. Phase-1 proposals are due 4:30 pm April 14, 2023, via the Astrophysics Research Knowledgebase Remote Proposal System at https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/ark/rps/

On or about December 19, 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

Programmatic information regarding D.10 TESS GI may be directed to Joshua Pepper at joshua.a.pepper@nasa.gov and Technical questions concerning this program element may be directed to Knicole Colón at knicole.colon@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.
