Every 10 years the National Research Council releases a survey of
astronomy and astrophysics outlining priorities for the coming
decade. The most recent survey, titled New Worlds, New Horizons in
Astronomy and Astrophysics, provides overall priorities and
recommendations for the field as a whole based on a broad and
comprehensive examination of scientific opportunities,
infrastructure, and organization in a national and international
context. Panel Reports?New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and
Astrophysics is a collection of reports, each of which addresses a
key sub-area of the field, prepared by specialists in that subarea,
and each of which played an important role in setting overall
priorities for the field. The collection, published in a single
volume, includes the reports of the following panels: Cosmology and
Fundamental Physics Galaxies Across Cosmic Time The Galactic
Neighborhood Stars and Stellar Evolution Planetary Systems and Star
Formation Electromagnetic Observations from Space Optical and
Infrared Astronomy from the Ground Particle Astrophysics and
Gravitation Radio, Millimeter, and Submillimeter Astronomy from the
Ground The Committee for a Decadal Survey of Astronomy and
Astrophysics synthesized these reports in the preparation of its
prioritized recommendations for the field as a whole. These reports
provide additional depth and detail in each of their respective
areas. Taken together, they form an essential companion volume to
New Worlds, New Horizons: A Decadal Survey of Astronomy and
Astrophysics. The book of panel reports will be useful to managers
of programs of research in the field of astronomy and astrophysics,
the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over the agencies
supporting this research, the scientific community, and the public.
