19 Dec 2019 | | Abstract: | The past two decades have seen a tremendous investment in observational
facilities that promise to reveal new and unprecedented discoveries about the
universe. In comparison, the investment in theoretical work is completely
dwarfed, even though theory plays a crucial role in the interpretation of these
observations, predicting new types of phenomena, and informing observing
strategies. In this white paper, we argue that in order to reach the promised
critical breakthroughs in astrophysics over the next decade and well beyond,
the national agencies must take a serious approach to investment in theoretical
astrophysics research. We discuss the role of theory in shaping our
understanding of the universe, and then we provide a multi-level strategy, from
the grassroots to the national, to address the current underinvestment in
theory relative to observational work. | | Source: | arXiv, 1912.9992 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
