3 March 2023
The 2nd PRIMA Community Workshop on Tuesday – Wednesday, March 21 – 22, 2023. It will be held virtually, 11:00 am – 3:00pm Eastern Time, both days.
PRIMA is a concept for a space telescope mission in the far infrared (25 – 260 µm), to be submitted later this year to the NASA Announcement of Opportunity for an Astrophysics Probe Explorer (APEX) mission. In overall observing time allocation, PRIMA will be primarily a General Observer mission, and we welcome all astronomers interested in science enabled by far-infrared observations to participate.
Participants will have an opportunity to present their science case within breakout sessions. Following the workshop, attendees are invited to expand their slides into a brief (2 – 3 pages) contribution with an expected submission deadline in June. These contributions, and others from the community, will be assembled into a PRIMA Science Book to be published on the astro-ph arXiv in the fall, with appropriate credit for each presented science case. The goal is to highlight the rich assortment of research topics that the PRIMA GO Program will enable.
A draft agenda and registration information can be found on the workshop site.
Detailed information and a link for registration are available on the Workshop page. Be sure to register to receive the Zoom connection information and further details. If you can’t attend the Workshop but would like to contribute to the Science Book, please register to receive these details.
