I will briefly present 2 upcoming space missions relevant to GaiaNIR: Nancy Grace Roman's recently approved Galactic Plane Survey, and the HAYDN mission.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is currently on track to be launched in late 2026. It will perform a deep (Ks~24 mag) Galactic Plane Survey in the near-infrared whose main objective is to create a high-resolution (~0.1 arcsec) map of...
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will provide an unprecedented view of the dynamic optical sky, combining deep, wide, and multi-epoch observations of billions of sources over ten years. Its photometry and astrometry open opportunities to complement and enhance the capabilities of future missions such as GaiaNIR.
In this talk, I will present the key...
In the "Final recommendation from the Voyage 2050 Senior Committee", an ESA reference document similar to a NASA Decadal Survey, the Senior Committe considered that for the "From Temperate Exoplanets to the Milky Way" theme, a mission on the Characterisation of Temperate Exoplanets had a higher scientific priority. Should it be determined that this is not feasible, the Senior Committee...
