Program Prepares for Senior Review
The 2018 Senior Review is a new opportunity to describe SOFIA’s scientific future.
The Senior Review is part of the normal review process for all NASA missions in operations. Presents a unique opportunity to propose SOFIA for continued extended mission
operations; i.e. post-prime mission. Central to the proposal must be a unified, integrated science proposal that will
serve as the new science vision for the future.

SOFIA Today
SOFIA is now the world’s prime access to 30-300 µm part of the spectrum. SOFIA provides for high-resolution mid-far IR spectroscopy (no other space
mission can do that) SOFIA provides FIR polarimetry
Future instrumentation could get us a factor of 3 in sensitivity. That is huge!We can be in the science regime Herschel opened up for us.
How can we use SOFIA as that bridge between JWST & ALMA? How can we use SOFIA to fill in the gaps left by Herschel & Spitzer?
Let’s fill in vital missing information (FIR structure lines, energetics, thermal emission, eager to hear results from this conference) in this “era of complicated datasets.”

SOFIA onwards and upwards
As we direct the Observatory to a Shared Vision, to be summarized in our upcoming Senior Review Proposal to NASA.What are the questions?What specific questions will we tackle in the
next 5 years? Where will we fill the gaps explicitly? How will we do it? Then looking back at those 5 years, did we
achieve what we set out to do? Can SOFIA continue to answer those specific
questions? How then can we push forward for the next, next 5 years?
I look forward to getting to know this community and listen for those questions to shape the Shared [email protected]

Cycle 5 Highlight – Water on Europa
• 05_0153 Sparks “Confirmation of Water Plumes on Europa”
• Observations with EXES at 6.27 µm (H2O vibrational band) to confirm HST observations of water plumes on the moon of Jupiter.
• SOFIA observations Mar 15 & May 26
• HST observations Mar 12 & 23• These observations would
provide input to a future Europa probe mission.

Cycle 5 Highlight - Occultation of Triton
• 05_0125 Person – “A New Look at Triton's Atmosphere”
• To characterize the atmosphere of Neptune’s moon Triton. Monitoring of Triton’s expanding atmosphere has not been re-examined since 2001.
• FLITECAM/HIPO observations of Trion occulting a R=12 mag star Oct 6, 2017.
• Will be conducted using GTO time.• Requires a mini-deployment to the
US East Coast.

Cycle 5 Highlight - High Resolution Spectral Survey
• 05_0043 Naseem RangwalaAn EXES High-Resolution Molecular Line Survey towards Orion IRc2, a prototypical hot-core source.
• Unprecedented resolving power (R = 50,000) will be 5 to 50 times more powerful than ISO in identifying narrow lines
• Study will provide a wealth of information on hot core chemistry
a) Spectrum from Cycle 3 pilot program toward IRc2
b) Likely molecules from hot core models

Cycle 5 Highlight - Studying Magnetic Fields
• 05_0133 Novak - “Joint HAWC+/ALMA study of magnetic fields in Ophiuchus”
• HAWC+ will have 35x better angular resolution than the Planck polarimeter and provides a bridge to the very much higher resolution observations of ALMA
Large scale B-field directions from Planck 850 µm polarimetry superposed on Herschel 160 µm dust emission. Individual targets are being studied using ALMA.
