Cosmic Origins Program Analysis Group (COPAG)

Science Interest Groups (SIGs) and Science Analysis Groups (SAGs)

Currently, the COPAG has three Science Interest Groups:

Science Interest Group (SIG) #1: Far Infrared Science and Technology, coordinated by David Leisawitz and chaired by Paul Goldsmith (Approved Nov 2013).

Note: Far-Infrared Community Workshop, 3–5 June 2015, Pasadena, CA

Science Interest Group (SIG) #2: Ultraviolet/Visible Science and Technology (approved November 2014), chaired by Paul Scowen. More information on SIG2 is available at sig2.asu.edu

Note: UV/VIs Community Workshop, 25–26 June, 2015, Greenbelt, MD

Science Interest Group (SIG) #3: Cosmic Dawn Science (approved March 2015). More information on SIG3 is available at http://cd-sig.jpl.nasa.gov/

The COPAG is considering starting a Technology Interest Group (TIG)

The COPAG uses Science Analysis Groups (SAGs) for topical consideration of COR-relevant science and technology issues. Membership of the SAGs is freely open to any interested parties. Each SAG and SIG coordinates with the EC through a member selected from the Executive Committee.

Currently, there are no active SAGs in the COPAG.

SAG #1: Science objectives for a 4m–8m UV/Optical mission, coordinated by Ken Sembach. (Closed)
SAG #2: Technologies for a 4m-class monolithic telescope UV/Optical mission w/internal coronograph, coordinated by Chuck Lillie. (Closed) [Report]
SAG #3: Technologies for an 8m-class segmented telescope UV/Optical mission w/external occulter, coordinated by Jon Gardner. (Closed)
SAG #4: Technologies for a future far-IR mission, coordinated by Paul Goldsmith and Dave Leisawitz. (Closed) [Report Approved as Science Interest Group Nov 2013)]
