D.18 XRISM General Observer - Cycle 1Close

Number: NNH23ZDA001N-XGO
Directorate: Science Mission Directorate
Type: NASA Research Announcement
Status: Closed

Notices

  • NOTICE: Amended January 11, 2024. The Resolve instrument’s Gate Valve (X-ray aperture door) has not opened after multiple attempts thereby blocking soft X-rays, shifting Resolve’s energy band from 0.3 - 12 keV to 1.7 - 12 keV, and lowering the effective area. While the XRISM team will continue to assess different approaches to opening the Gate Valve, the General Observer Cycle-1 program will be carried out with the closed Gate Valve configuration. Since the Resolve instrument’s effective area is less than anticipated, longer exposures may be needed for some observations, which will affect the number of proposals selected for Cycle 1, leaving the distribution of funding for Type-1 vs. Type-2 proposals less certain. Proposals must justify the science case given the closed Gate Valve and shift in energy band. The relevant response function files and technical information are provided at https://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xrism/ The due date remains the same: Type-1 (Phase-1) observing proposals are to be submitted via ARK/RPS by 4:30 pm eastern time and Type-2 proposals are to be submitted via NSPIRES by 11:59 pm eastern time April 4, 2024. New text is in bold and deleted text is struck through.
  • NOTICE: Amended December 15, 2023. This Amendment delays the due date for this program element. Notices of intent are not requested, and proposals are now due April 4, 2024. Also, the planning start date in Section 3 has been delayed to August 1, 2023.
  • NOTICE: Amended December 12, 2023. This Amendment presents a new program element in ROSES-2023. Notices of intent are not requested, and proposals are due March 21, 2024. There are two types of proposals with different page limits, contents, and submission procedures: Type-1 Phase-1 proposals are due at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time via ARK/RPS whereas Type-2 proposals must be submitted by the proposing organization via NSPIRES by 11:59 pm. XRISM General Observer (GO) proposals, both Type-1 and Type-2, will be evaluated via dual-anonymous peer review. Proposals must be prepared following the guidelines in Section 2.1 or 2.2 and in the appropriate "….DAPR Instructions" document posted to the right. Due to the nature of the proposed investigations, XRISM GO proposals are not required to include an "Open Science and Data Management Plan".
  • The description of the specific proposal opportunity on this page is contained in the document 'D.18 XRISM General Observer - Cycle 1'. The document 'D.1 Astrophysics Research Program Overview' describes research activities within the NASA science division that is managing the specific proposal opportunity on this page and may impose requirements upon proposals submitted to this program element. The document 'Summary of Solicitation' describes the common requirements for all ROSES-2023 proposal opportunities. The document 'Table 1' contains the proposal check list from the Summary of Solicitation. The documents 'Table 2' and 'Table 3' contain the list of all proposal opportunities and their due dates, sorted by (full or Step-2) proposal due date or appendix number, respectively. All of these documents are kept up to date and incorporate amendments, clarifications, and corrections in a clearly identifiable manner.
