Swift Observatory General Investigator and Corrections and PRC language added

D.5 Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory General Investigator (GI) - Cycle 20 Program 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.

A few clarifications and corrections have been made to D.5 Swift GI: In Section 1.1 a precis of the PRC prohibition from the ROSES Summary of Solicitation has been added and trivial typos were corrected. New text is in bold and deleted text struck through. The proposal due date is unchanged: Phase-1 proposals are due at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time on September 21, 2023, via ARK/RPS.

Programmatic information 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.

This is an artist’s concept of exoasteroids in space, featuring rocky asteroids of various sizes orbiting around a distant star. The scene depicts a dense asteroid belt, illuminated by the bright light of a star in the background, with dust and debris scattered throughout the space between the asteroids.

A spiral galaxy, tilted at an angle, with irregularly-shaped arms. It appears large and close-up. The center glows in a yellowish color, while the disk around it is a bluer color, due to light from older and newer stars. Dark reddish threads of dust cover the galaxy, and there are many large, shining pink spots in the disc, where stars are forming.

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.
