H13.00001: Physics of the Cosmos and PhysPAG Overview Invited Speaker: Justin D Finke The Physics of the Cosmos (PhysCOS) Program lies at the intersection of physics and astronomy. Its purpose is to explore some of the most fundamental questions regarding the physical forces and laws of the universe: the validity of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity and the nature of spacetime, the behavior of matter and energy in extreme environments, the cosmological parameters governing inflation and the evolution of the universe, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy. |
Sunday, April 16, 2023 2:06PM - 2:18PM |
H13.00002: Physics of the Cosmos Technology Development Brian Humensky The Physics of the Cosmos (PhysCOS) Program Office manages strategic technology development in a wide array of areas relevant to future missions in the PhysCOS domain, and works with the community to prioritize technology gaps that need to be closed to enable or enhance future mission concepts. We will discuss those activities, provide some highlights, and point to web-based resources available to the community that provide information about the state and direction of these technology efforts. |

H13.00003: Astrophysics With Equity: Surmounting Obstacles to Membership (AWESOM) Justin D Finke, Dara Norman The AWESOM science analysis group (SAG) is supported by NASA's Physics of the Cosmos (PhysCOS), Cosmic Origins (COR) and Exoplanet Exploration (ExEP) programs. The AWESOM SAG will undertake a careful study of how to expand the range of institutions and backgrounds for members of the community contributing to NASA astrophysics. The SAG will focus specifically on engagement with research and training programs. The goal of this SAG is to analyze how existing NASA programs and potential new initiatives can increase engagement with research and training programs, and to make available opportunities clearer, more consistent, and easier to access. |

H13.00004: Time Domain and MultiMessenger Science Interest Group Eric Burns The Astro2020 Decadal emphasized New Physics, New Messengers, highlighting the science made possible by astrophysical observations in the time domain and multiple messengers. The Time-Domain and MultiMessenger Science Interest Group (TDAMM SIG) is being created to facilitate community organization and long-term engagement with NASA Headquarters relevant to the Decadal recommendations of relevance for NASA. This work is inherently interdisciplinary. These sources rely upon knowledge from, or may advance knowledge in, the fields of gravity, nuclear physics, particle physics, atomic and molecular physics, cosmology, fundamental physics, plasma physics, turbulence, and more. We will briefly summarize the charge of the TDAMM SIG with the hope of broadening participation in the SIG structure to a wider part of the APS community. |
Sunday, April 16, 2023 2:42PM - 2:54PM |
H13.00005: GWSIG Update Sean T McWilliams, Alessandra Corsi We will present an update on GWSIG-related activities, with particular emphasis on the ESA-led, NASA-partnered LISA mission. |
Sunday, April 16, 2023 2:54PM - 3:06PM |
H13.00006: Gamma-ray Science Interest Group Update Justin D Finke This talk will include an update of the Gamma-ray Science Interest Group of the Physics of the Cosmos Program Analysis Group. |
