Beyond Einstein

A NASA roadmap emphasizing three interconnected thrusts that advance science and technology toward two visions: direct detection of gravitational wave signals from the earliest possible moments of the Big Bang, and imaging of the event horizon of a black hole. The central element is a pair of Einstein Great Observatories, Con-X and LISA. These powerful facilities will expand understanding about black holes, the Big Bang, and dark energy, and are to be complemented by a series of competitively selected probes and a program of technology development, theoretical studies, and education. Planned to support the probes and the two observatory missions are the Big Bang Observer and the Black Hole Imager.

TSIPTelescope System Instrumentation Program (NSF)

The highest-priority moderate initiative recommended in the AANM report, TSIP contributes greatly to the emerging paradigm of the integrated observing system, an approach to operating public and private facilities used for ground-based optical and infrared astronomy in which complementarity and cooperation provide motivation for strategic decisions. Through TSIP, NSF funds the development of instruments or other improvements for private observatories, in exchange for which telescope time at those facilities is made available to the research community.


WF3Wide Field Camera (3), instrument designed for installation on HST

WFC3 was originally conceived only as a project to replace the capabilities of an instrument on HST, but it became clear during development that with advancing technologies and careful planning, WFC3 could substantially enhance HST’s abilities by adding a second channel, in the near-infrared range (in addition to the one in the near-ultraviolet). Adding a second channel of this type is almost like adding another instrument to Hubble. The UV and the IR regions are rich in information on the properties of solar system objects, stars, star-forming regions, galaxies, and the most distant and oldest objects in the universe.

WMAPWilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe

WMAP, launched in mid-2001, is currently operating in high Earth orbit. A NASA Explorer mission, WMAP has measured with unprecedented accuracy the temperature of the cosmic background radiation, which permeates the entire universe, across the entire sky.

In the past few years, programmatic changes at NASA, issues raised by the NRC report, Connecting Quarks with the Cosmos: Eleven Science Questions for the New Century(CQC), and scientific and technological advances combined to prompt consideration of a reexamination of the overall science strategy set forth in Astronomy and Astrophysics in the New Millennium (AANM). Discussions followed between the Board on Physics and Astronomy and NASA and NSF that resulted in a request by the two agencies to prepare a short report addressing the points leading up to calls for the reexamination. The report was also to assess progress towards the vision set forth in the AANM and CQC studies. This letter report presents the result of that study. It reviews the context that led up to the request and the most exciting advances in astronomy and astrophysics and key technological developments since the AAMN report was published, and it provides an outlook for fulfilling the decadal vision of the two previous studies.
