    2020 July 09 Dr. Paul Hertz Astrophysics Director Science Missions Directorate National Aeronautics and Space administration (NASA) Dear Paul, The NASA Astrophysics Advisory Committee (APAC) had its Summer meeting on 2020 June 23-24. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and related NASA operational and travel restriction (Stage 4), the entire two-days of the meeting where conducted virtually using WebExtm videoconferencing technology accompanied by dial-in phone lines. The following members of the APAC attended the meeting: Kelly Holley-Bockelman, Laura Brenneman, John Conklin (Vice Chair), Asantha Cooray, Massimiliano Galeazzi, Jessica Gaskin, Hashima Hasan (APAC Executive Secretary), William Jones, Suvrath Mahadevan, Margaret Meixner, Michael Meyer, Leonidas Moustakas, Lucianne Walkowitz, and Chick Woodward (APAC Chair). Public lines were opened, and Dr. Hasan began the meeting by welcoming all the APAC members, and explaining its purpose. Dr. Hasan reminded APAC members who had conflicts of interest with specific topics on the agenda that as conflicted members they were allowed to listen to the presentation but could not participate in the committee’s discussion. Dr. Hasan then reviewed the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) rules. Dr. Woodward then welcomed the members to the meeting, outlined the agenda, and reiterated some of the FACA and conflict of interest rules. APAC members proceeded to introduce themselves. The agenda consisted of the following presentations: • Astrophysics Division Update – Paul Hertz • State of the Profession – Chick Woodward and the APAC Committee • ExoPAG, COPAG, and PhysPAG reports – Michael Meyer, Margaret Meixner, Graca Rocha • SOFIA update – Margaret Meixner, Naseem Rangwala • James Webb update – Eric Smith • ESCAPE update – Kevin France • Athena update – Rob Petre • GUSTO update – Chris Walker • COSI update – John Tomsick • CASE/ARIEL update – Mark Swain • Science Activation update – Kristen Erickson The APAC thanks all the presenters for their time and efforts to provide crisp and informative presentations.

My mission is to create a generation of problem-solvers. Research Achievements • The evolution of planetesimals includes partially differentiated and other complex compositional structures, explaining physical and compositional observations from meteorites and asteroids. • The Siberian flood basalts erupted most of their volume before the end-Permian extinction occurred; the magmatism released carbon, sulfur, and halocarbons sufficient to drive catastrophic global climate change; the flood basalts began with a world-record volume of volcaniclastics, many erupted as tuffs and burning a significant coal volume. • Magma ocean stages of terrestrial planet formation retained sufficient water to create habitable planets without additional water delivery (though that is inevitable as well), and the silicate differentiation produced by magma ocean solidification creates successful predictions about current- day Moon, Earth, Mercury, and Mars. • Drip magmatism: Lithospheric gravitational instabilities heat, melt, and produce magmatism while they sinK into the mantle; verified in Chile, in Tibet, in the Sierra Nevada, and in east Africa. • The productivity of questions can be rated using a rubric and scored successfully by artificial intelligence.

  • Gravitational Time Delay Effects on Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropies
    PHYSICAL REVIEW D, VOLUME 63, 023504 Gravitational time delay effects on cosmic microwave background anisotropies Wayne Hu* Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey 08540 and Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 Asantha Cooray† Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637 ͑Received 2 August 2000; published 18 December 2000͒ We study the effect of gravitational time delay on the power spectra and bispectra of the cosmic microwave background ͑CMB͒ temperature and polarization anisotropies. The time delay effect modulates the spatial surface at recombination on which temperature anisotropies are observed, typically by ϳ1 Mpc. While this is a relatively large shift, its observable effects in the temperature and polarization fields are suppressed by geometric considerations. The leading order effect is from its correlation with the closely related gravitational lensing effect. The change to the temperature-polarization cross power spectrum is of order 0.1% and is hence comparable to the cosmic variance for the power in the multipoles around lϳ1000. While unlikely to be extracted from the data in its own right, its omission in modeling would produce a systematic error comparable to this limiting statistical error and, in principle, is relevant for future high precision experiments. Contributions to the bispectra result mainly from correlations with the Sachs-Wolfe effect and may safely be neglected in a low density universe.
