Interactive Session
At the conference interactive session, we were delighted by the broad range of ideas raised for important science questions that can be addressed with WISE/NEOWISE data in the future.
We have parsed through the ideas and found several common themes. There were 64 questions in all presented by the groups at the 12 tables, and they are listed by table in this document.
There were 6 questions that were repeated by multiple tables. Those are given here with a reference to the question that you can find in the full list:
- Determine the IMF in the substellar regime (Questions 1, 16, 40, 45, 53, 56)
- Identify obscured AGN and Test Unification (Questions 3, 29, 38, 41, 61)
- New Quasar Discovery (Questions (48, 57, 60)
- High Redshift Quasar Characterization (Questions 17, 25)
- Find Planet X (Questions 42, 55)
- Discover or constrain unknown populations (Questions 37, 20, 5 )
Aside from repeated questions, we also found common themes among the questions. We list those themes and their corresponding questions below:
- Galactic structure questions (Questions 4, 21, 39, 44, 59)
- Star formation (Questions 13, 34, 46, 62)
- Zodiacal dust (Questions 23, 51)
- Exploring populations of brown dwarfs (Questions 9, 14, 15, 19, 33, 36)
- Large scale structure (Questions 11, 27, 35)
- Asteroid populations (Questions 12, 30)
- Man-made satellites (Questions 49, 50)
- Dust extinction maps and the CMB (Questions 31, 63)
