Cosmic Origins QuesCons
• How did we get here? – How and when did galaxies form? – How do stars form, evolve, and eventually die? – How are maEer and the chemical elements distributed throughout the universe?

COPAG Tasks (Anyone in the scienCfic community may parCcipate) • Solicit and coordinate community input into the development
and execuCon of NASA’s Cosmic Origins (COR) Program
• Analyze input in support of the planning of future COR acCviCes
• Specific types of tasks include – ArCculaCng and prioriCzing key science drivers for COR research – EvaluaCng capabiliCes of potenCal missions for achieving COR science
goals – Providing input and analysis on related acCviCes (e.g., theory, laboratory
astrophysics, suborbital invesCgaCons, data archiving, etc) needed to achieve COR science goals
– IdenCfying focus areas for technologies needed to advance COR science
• All input is provided to the NASA Astrophysics SubcommiEee, which reports to the Director of NASA’s Astrophysics Division

2015 Science Analysis Groups (SAGs) and Science Interest Groups (SIGs)
• SAG #8: Science Enabled by the WFIRST-‐AFTA Data Archive
• SAG #9: Science Enabled by Spitzer ObservaCons Prior to JWST Launch
• SIG #1: Far-‐Infrared Cosmic Origins Science and Technology Development
• SIG #2: Ultraviolet and Visible Cosmic Origins Space-‐Based Science and Technology Development

SAG #8: Cosmic Origins Science Enabled by the WFIRST-‐AFTA Data Archive
• WFIRST-‐AFTA will produce a huge archive for research related to Cosmic Origins
7
WFIRST/AFTA Deep Field >1,000,000 galaxies in each image
HST

SAG #8: Cosmic Origins Science Enabled by the WFIRST-‐AFTA Data Archive
• Analyze how the archive is to be used and scope the data requirements necessary to conduct COR science
• Solicit community input to idenCfy the types of invesCgaCons and the kinds of data products that are valued and needed
• Consider what other assets or efforts may be needed to maximize the science return from the WFIRST archive – E.g., CoordinaCon with LSST, Euclid, or JWST; GO funding for ground-‐based observaCons or theoreCcal studies

SAG #9: Science Enabled by Spitzer ObservaCons Prior to JWST Launch
• Engage the astronomical community in idenCfying compelling science to be done with JWST that is enabled by or benefits from large blocks of Spitzer observing Cme.
9
Science areas to be explored include: -‐ Extrasolar planets and planetary systems -‐ ProperCes and structures of the Milky Way -‐ Nearby galaxies -‐ Galaxy evoluCon and cosmology
Within these areas, the unique contribuCons that Spitzer observaCons can offer are being considered.

Decadal Survey Planning for Large Missions
• Far IR Surveyor • Habitable Exoplanet Imaging Mission • UV/OpKcal/IR Surveyor • X-‐ray Surveyor
11
All of these missions would enable Cosmic Origins science.
The COPAG ExecuCve CommiEee will be soliciCng your input on these missions and any others you believe address the charge given
to the PAGs by NASA HQ.
