Draft SEU Roadmaps

  1. 27 Nov SEU Roadmap, as sent for printing.
  2. 26 Nov SEU Roadmap , final mark up by Sterl (nb pp16-20 garbled).
  3. 26 Nov SEU Roadmap incorporating Nov 19-20 changes below.
  4. Final 20 Nov pre-press change list from Sterl. This incorporates Teplitz recommendations.
  5. Phinney final Nov 19 edits of Hertz change list.
  6. 19 Nov first markup (incorporating Cominsky, Israel, DeMinco, Turner, Tannanbaum, Lester, Phinney comments, but not yet Teplitz and Hertz). Mary-Pat note: graphics changes on p. 12, 25?, 64.
  7. 28 Oct pdf penultimate draft printed for Nov 6 OSS meeting.
  8. Sterl's crude but more visual BE cover.
  9. Oct 14 complete list of requested changes to BE-Roadmap-Rev01.pdf.
  10. 1 Oct pdf first draft layout.
  11. 10 Oct BE Back Cover draft (jpg)!
  12. 1 Oct BE Front Cover draft (jpg).
  13. 12 Sept pdf final final pre-layout version of Roadmap. OK, I lied. This incorporates small last-minute changes to the technology sections from Kahn et al.
  14. 11 Sept pdf final pre-layout version of Roadmap. Incorporates re-Lestered RMII, Flanagan comments, all of Hertz Sept 8 edits, new "further info" appendix, some new figure links. This will be the last latex edition maintained by Sterl. Further edits will be maintained by Pat Tyler at GSFC for layout. Requests for changes should be sent to Sterl Phinney and Paul DeMinco, who will jointly approve/deny and pass to Pat for implementation. Note: pdf is "live" -if you read it while connected to the internet, clicking on the blue words (e.g. "Sample Cover Layout" on front page, and FIGURE throughout) will pop up your web browser with the linked image displayed (assuming you have an acrobat version recent enough to support "weblink"; v. 4 and 5 and xpdf work for me).
  15. Current Directory of Roadmap files (last update Sept 12, 16:20 PDT).
  16. 3 Sept pdf version of Roadmap. Incorporates re-Marchified RMII, all of Hertz Sep 2 "todo" list except user-friendly redshifts and full non-roadmap mission names, and new appendix mapping RFAs to mission activities (from Hertz, as cleaned by Phinney).
  17. 1 Sept pdf version of Roadmap, same as Aug 31 version but with new preface, and added "RMII factsheet" in section 6.1. Note to Paul H: RFA pointers are marginal notes in section 1.2, box at end of BE science section, all the BE mission descriptions, and the Cycles section (chap 6). Let me know if this is ok for Marc Allen's purposes.
  18. 31 August pdf version of Roadmap. All sections now Marchified and Phinnified.
  19. I -Beyond Einstein Initiative, Aug 16 2002 version, handed off to Bob March, incorporating all revisions from Roadmap and SEUS meetings of Aug 7-9 2002. Phinney added Preface; in section 1.1: boxes on black holes, hearing; in section 1.2: subsections on Technology, RandA, Outreach; in section 2.1.1: box on CMB, in 2.1.2: box on Chandra X-ray observatory, in 2.1.3: box on Hulse-Taylor; in 2.1.4: box on HST and dark energy. Aug 5 2002 version. BBO and BBO Tech rewritten to include pathfinder option; misc minor corrections elsewhere. Aug 4 2002 version All sections rewritten following minutes of July 31 telecon [except waiting for R & A], plus corrections and additions by esp; structure as suggested by Hertz. Bookmarks and table of contents now clickable in pdf. Old July 30, 2002 version
  20. Complete LaTeX source files for Aug 16 2002 version of Beyond Einstein, as unix tar file (see root directory of this one for older versions), or as plain text directory.
  21. II -Cycles of Matter and Energy, Aug 12 2002 version, handed off to Bob March (icky MSWord .doc file -see here for latex version [RMII_08-12-02.tex]). Older versions: Aug 5 2002 version, (MSWord .doc file), July 2 2002 version (pdf).
  22. Sample EPO for RMII (Gould Aug 5 version, .doc).
  23. Sample public interest sidebar for RMII (Gould Aug 5 version, .doc).
