#aas245 Join the PRIMA team! As Phase A is beginning, there are many opportunities to get involved and help make a Far-IR space mission a reality for the 2030s!

The PRIMA team is excited to announce the release of a special issue in the Journal of Astronomical Telescopes, Instruments, and Systems (JATIS), Volume 11 Issue 03! This issue was edited by Naseem Rangwala and Matt Griffin.

#PRIMA2025 Working Meeting: Day 1! We've welcomed >350 scientists to discuss @PRIMAprobe's possibilities! Response to the three-day hybrid event was so outstanding it was moved to a bigger venue. Today's topics: project overview, protoplanetary disks, time domain astro, & stars.

Day 1 of Working meeting on 'PRIMA and the Future of Far-IR Science' happening today on the Caltech campus hosted by @caltechipac #PRIMA2025

Have a great idea for science with PRIMA? Write a science case for Volume 2 of our GO book! The submission system is now open! https://t.co/iuvtoLSxaP... Submissions will be due at the end of May

Our PRIMA community webinar is happening tomorrow! Get the latest updates, meet and greet our new Exposure Time Calculator, and plan your GO science case ideas! You can still register on our website, and both sessions will be recorded.

@eriniASTRO will describe how deep observations with PRIMA's FIRESS instrument can help clear up mysteries of the new AGN candidates discovered with JWST, and how PRIMA's PRIMager and FIRESS can help find the z >4 AGN easily missed by JWST in the first place!

P-CAST talk today in two hours! Erini Lambrides will tell us about "Un-obscuring Obscuration in z>4 AGN with PRIMA" Information on how to join here:

Our next P-CAST talk takes place Monday February 24 at 12 PM Eastern time (9 AM Pacific). Our speaker will be Erini Lambrides from NASA-GSFC! Please visit the P-CAST webpage for a link to join and to see all of our upcoming speakers

If you missed this talk, the recording is now posted on our youtube channel! https://t.co/zabgvs3EUe Slides will be available on our webpage soon. https://t.co/IMTluG8ZXW

Abstract deadline extended until February 15!
