#EXOPAG - That concludes the speakers' for today's session.

#EXOPAG - HWO Meeting in Washington, DC, 600 Participants, a LOT of interest in Industry and international partners, the presentations are available on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_rP...

#EXOPAG - Seminar Series and PAG related activities

#EXOPAG - Sounds like the next steps is to communicate to the rest of the science community ( would like to heafr more about the public although I know we're early in this process)

#EXOPAG - Big thank you to the gorops working on the science use cases ( without payment BTW)

#EXOPAG - HWO Solar Systems in Context Working Group: Possible cases and instrumentation Needs.( really pushing the edge of the envelope here

#EXOPAG - Came up with various science cases, but what are the priorities and key needs? Those are listed on placard 2. Need to quantify sample size.

#EXOPAG - HWO 4 working groups all have generated 60m science cases , wide breadth of science possible with HWO

#EXOPAG - HWO is in pre-formulation, started work in Sept 2023 STarted the production office August last year Exploring trade spoace of science and instrument complexity aming to start Phase A by the end of the decade before the next decadal survcey wnat science requements in 20208

#EXOPAG - Next

#EXOPAG - Discussion concludes.

#EXOPAG - Precision Stellar Properties Catalog, made up of several missions' data.

#EXOPAG - Additional tools and products avialable through SPHEREX Data

#EXOPAG - Speaker is demonstrating how the SPEREX Data is liadi out tin the database

#EXOPAG - Another photograph to show what SPEREX can do and what is available to the community is described in the 2nd placard.

#EXOPAG - SPHEREX was a night launch form Vandenberg on March 11 ,2024. Science surveys started May 1 goal is to not change anything ibn the survey image you see here was in the first data release

#EXOPAG - SPHEREX Rachel Akeson (Caltech/IPAC) giving the talking, what is the mission and the spac ecraft in a nutshell.https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/spherex/

#EXOPAG - Final Highlights

#EXOPAG - Nominate yourself for the Science user panel and other opportunities

#EXOPAG - General Astrophysics survey info.

#EXOPAG - EOpportunities for involvement

#EXOPAG - will be able to push down to Mars, moon mass planets, and there are some degeneracies. can break that with long-term time-based observations.

#EXOPAG - 3 types of surveys, High latitude survey will take up to a year of the mission. The Time Domain survey will take about 2 years, a very deep field, and the galactic bulge time survey, any time domain survey will be providing data for other science,

#EXOPAG - Roman is a survey mission, and the coronograph also gets testing time. This is a different sort of flagship, observing time isn't constituted out of small proposals but wide surveys data isn't propretary and instantly becomes public

#EXOPAG - Where Roman is right now, current status has survived shake testing and thermal vacuum testing starts next month, outer barrel assembly is undergoing final preps and will be set for acoustic testing. Various mission readiness tests, processing flight data, and "day in the life" testing

#EXOPAG - What the telescope looks like. Hardware in place at Goddard Space Flight Center can see components on the 2nd placard.

#EXOPAG - Highlights On Track for October 2026, possibility of a Sept 2026 launch, a LOT of opportunities for the community to engage with Roman . This is a survey mission that will tocu on so many areas and have a transfomative impact

#EXOPAG - Next

#EXOPAG - Early Career is always the most fragile part; it's true of any funding scenario. It makes it all real and stressful, regardless of budget. Looking at a diversity of opportunities that leverage you experience, if you are coming in with a grad degree, you can be doing research,

#EXOPAG - What is the timeline for the Mid Decvadal process? A: Working with the National Academies now, want to finish that 5 years after the decadal publications, want to make sure our partners are there ( DoE, DoD). The 2020 Decadal said that we should move ahead with HWO.
