Background & MotivationBackground & Motivation Investments needed by European astronomy

to ~ 2020: Will cost ??? B€

Will be funded to only ~5% by EU funds (e.g. FP7)

The national funding agencies will pay the bulk of ALL projects

The funding agencies want to see a plan for ALL this: Optical/IR, radio, space, particles, AVO, Human Resources, … They founded ASTRONET to give us the chance to present a comprehensive, coherent plan for what we want to achieve (~ Prototyping a (better) counterpart of the US Decadal Surveys)

The ASTRONET infrastructure roadmap Example: Chapter 4

Among the large-scale missions, the gravitational-wave observatory LISA and the X-ray observatory XEUS/IXO were ranked together at the top. Next were the TANDEM and LAPLACE missions to the planets Saturn and Jupiter and their satellites. One of these will likely be selected in early 2009; it will then compete with IXO or LISA for the next L slot.

ExoMars was ranked highly as well, just below TANDEM/LAPLACE, but does not compete directly with the other science missions as it belongs to a different programme (Aurora). The longer-term missions Darwin (search for life on “other Earths”), FIRI (formation and evolution of planets, stars and galaxies), and PHOIBOS (close-up study of the solar surface) were also deemed very important.

However, they still require lengthy technological development, so it was regarded as premature to assign detailed rankings to these three missions at this stage.

Among medium scale investments, science analysis and exploitation for the approved Horizons 2000 astrometric mission GAIA was judged most important. Among proposed new projects in this category, the dark energy mission EUCLID and then Solar Orbiter were ranked highest. Next, with equal rank but different maturity, are Cross-Scale (magnetosphere), Simbol-X (a non-ESA X-ray project), PLATO (exoplanet transits) and SPICA (far-infrared observatory).

Below these mission is Marco Polo (near-Earth asteroid sample return).

A strong roadmap for precursor scientific activities which are needed to extract the maximum amount of science from future European ground-based observation campaigns (e.g. ELTs) and space missions (CoRoT – already in orbit -, GAIA, Euclid/PLATO, etc.) related to:

- exoplanet characterisation (e.g., atmospheric/planetary parameters) - habitability- studying terrestrial planets under extreme radiation and plasma conditions - magnetosphere detection- etc.

has to be prepared and developed further

The existing but modified EUROPLANET N2 DWG7 could act as a support for the science community related to networking activities, etc. within the

EUROPLANET FP7 project

Goals of the newly structured Goals of the newly structured N2 DWG7 N2 DWG7 Goals of the newly structured Goals of the newly structured N2 DWG7 N2 DWG7 Identification and coordination of interdisciplinary scientific areas which are strongly related and important for future exoplanet atmospheric characterisation within the available scientific expertise of the European planetary community

The newly structured DWG7 will build up stronger connections among the scientific expertise within the exoplanet community and the other Europlanet

DWGs, as well as with the solar system community

- DWG1: atmospheres, ionospheres, exospheres- DWG2: magnetospheres and plasmas- DWG3+5: surface science + planetary moons- DWG4+9: small bodies and dust + solar system formation- DWG6: exo/astrobiology- DWG8: planetary interior and composition

By focusing the expertise of scientists from different fields in the planning phase of exoplanet projects, the impact of the science drivers on design parameters (orbit, mission duration, optics size and layout, detectors and back-ends, etc.) could be well established

The aim is that the new structured N2 DWG7 is an involved in the identification of design concepts, which will optimize the scientific return of future space and ground based exoplanet missions

Building of connections and networkingBuilding of connections and networking Via N2 DWG7 connections to other EU funded networks (OPTICON, RadioNet, AstroNet) that will concentrate on the technical aspects, will be established Further tasks of DWG 7 will be the monitoring of on-going developments related to exoplanet ground- and space-based projects

We will establish and maintain relationships with other planet finding missions with emphasis on NASA’s TPF mission, prepare material and reports for the review process by EUROPLANET and ESA’s advisory bodies and public outreach activities

A strong connection with N3 activities should be established

Two, 1 to 2 day meetings of the DWG7 separated or connected to ordinary Europlanet N2 related strategic workshops may be needed per year to establish the proposed tasks. Reports will be prepared and mailed to the N2 and N3 main coordinators

Other DWG members will be briefed about the activities and the outcome of the proposed DWG7 meetings during N2 related strategic workshops, so that the above mentioned activities can be discussed and distributed to the other coordinators within the Europlanet management structure (N1)
