Panel on Ground-Based Optical and Infrared Astronomy

该拨款将支持物理科学、数学和应用委员会（CPSMA）物理和天文学委员会（BPA）的一项研究，以评估光学和红外天文学的现状，并在有限的支持下推荐优化该领域进展的策略。这项研究将由天文学和天体物理学委员会下属的一个小组进行。作为这项研究的一部分，该小组将考虑国家光学天文台（NOAO）在实现该领域目标方面的作用。将征求天文学界的广泛意见，并将进行实地考察。报告将于1995年1月1日左右完成。

9412476 Riemer This grant will support a study by the Commission on Physical Sciences, Mathematics, and Applications' (CPSMA) Board on Physics and Astronomy (BPA) Committee to assess the present status of optical and infrared astronomy and recommend strategies to optimize progress in this field within constrained support. The study will be carried out by a panel under the Committee on Astronomy and Astrophysics. As part of this study, the panel will consider the role of the National Optical Astronomy Observatories (NOAO) in meeting the goals of this field. Broad input from the astronomy community will be solicited, and site visits will be held. The report will be completed by approximately January 1, 1995.
