Description

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a large (6.6m), cold (50K), infrared-optimized space observatory. The observatory will have four instruments working at wavelengths 0.6 to 29 microns. The science objectives of JWST include the initial formation of galaxies in the early Universe, galaxy evolution including active galactic nuclei, star and planetary system formation, and the study of extra-Solar planets and Solar System objects. JWST consists of a deployed segmented telescope, an instrument package, a spacecraft and a sunshield. The telescope will be brought into optical alignment on-orbit through a process of periodic wavefront sensing and control. Research relevant to JWST's science goals could include theoretical studies or be based on observations taken with current space-based or ground-based facilities. Instrumentation studies can include optics, wavefront sensing and control, near-infrared detectors, ground-based Hadamard transform and multi-object spectroscopy, and development of MEMS micro-shutters for space-flight multi-object spectroscopy. Additional information about JWST is available through the website http://www.jwst.nasa.gov, and from the review paper astro-ph/0606175.

Description

The Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) supports the modeling and data assimilation needs of NASA's Earth science mission, to characterize, understand, and predict how the Earth as a system is changing on both weather and climate time scales. The GMAO develops the Goddard Earth Observing System (GEOS) model and data assimilation system, including comprehensive atmosphere, ocean, ice, and land surface components. Along with the analysis and prediction of weather and seasonal climate states, GMAO's efforts encompass atmospheric air quality, ocean biogeochemistry, and the carbon cycle. Potential research activities include:
• developing the underlying model components to improve the representations of processes and the coupling among different processes in the Earth system
• development of advanced modeling techniques based on Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning
• developing and applying new techniques to assimilate NASA's Earth observations and assessing their impacts on prediction on timescales that span weather to seasons
• focused model experimentation to identify the mechanisms of change in the Earth system.

Description

The Origins Space Telescope is one of four flagship-class missions studied in preparation for the 2020 Decadal Survey in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The mission concept study report and a technology development plan are available at https://asd.gsfc.nasa.gov/firs/docs/ . The Origins Space Telescope will trace the history of our origins from the time dust and heavy elements permanently altered the cosmic landscape to present-day life. How did galaxies evolve from the earliest galactic systems to those found in the Universe today? How do habitable planets form? How common are life-bearing worlds? To answer these alluring questions, Origins is envisaged as a cryogenic 5.9 m diameter telescope with three instruments working at wavelengths from 2.8 to 588 microns and offering powerful spectroscopic capabilities and three orders-of-magnitude improvement in sensitivity relative to the Herschel Space Observatory. If the Decadal Survey prioritizes Origins, NASA will set up a Pre-Formulation Project Office and further studies will begin. This is an exciting opportunity to get in on the ground floor. We welcome applications from technologists, instrumentalists, modelers and data analysts. Specific topics of interest include: TES bolometer and MKID detector development and characterization; modeling the far-infrared sky to probe limitations on information retrieval from integral field spectroscopic data imposed by the finite spatial resolution of the telescope; and development of a Design Reference Mission, which can be used for benchmarking during trade studies. We also encourage prospective candidates to propose Origins-relevant research topics of their own.

This NPP slot is to work with the Science Support and Analysis Team (SSAT) fo the Large UV Optical (LUVOIR) mission concept study. LUVOIR is a concept for a future flagship mission whose science goals will include the direct imaging and characterization of potentially habitable exoplanets, and a broad range of general astrophyics investigations. The SSAT works on the simulation of the science yields for such a mission. We are interested in applicants that compliment the science team's existing skill sets in exoplanet modeling, dust and debris disk science, transit spectroscopy, and mission design at it relates to LUVOIR and other exoplanet imaging concept missions. This gives applicants a wide variety of options to support our team. They could complement our team by adding additional expertise - particularly in general astrophysics. Or they coudl deepen our ability to simulate exoplanet simulations. The selected NPP fellow will have a variety of tasks they will have the option to assist with, with an associated variety of professional development opportunities. Regardless of specifics, the NPP fellow would be involved with one of the most exciting missions the agency has ever studied.

Description

Description:

The DAVINCI mission to Venus will conduct multi-scale descent imaging of landscapes on Venus at scales not previously accessible in studies about Venus and its highlands (tesserae). Specifically, mission goals embrace the scientific interpretation of multiple spatial scales of band-ratio imaging in 3D context, together with digital topography at scales from < 100m to 5-10m (horizontally), and very fine scale geomorphological imaging at scales < 1.5 m per pixel of local areas in the complex ridged terrains of Venus. These science goals and imaging capabilities are multi-disciplinary in that they connect rock unit composition to landscape geomorphology for the unique tesserae “mountains” of Venus at sampling scales more typical of high-resolution satellite imaging of the Earth, Mars, or the Moon.

The selected applicant will evaluate how quantitative geomorphological investigations of local area landscape systems (including sedimentary materials and associated depositional processes) on Earth can inform Venus investigations and will develop approaches for building models that can be used to test hypotheses for Venus-relevant regions here on Earth and/or Mars. This will be done by working with analogue DEM (define) datasets from multiple regions on Earth, and the descent imaging data from Mars Curiosity and Mars Perseverance Rovers. Specific challenges to note are isotropic illumination, Rayleigh scattering-induced pixel blurring, and limited areal fields of view (FOV).
