Science Working Group
The PRIMA science objectives have been developed including input from the Science Working Group. It comprises more than 50 members of the astronomy community worldwide, and is organized into seven broad science themes. Members contribute to developing the science objectives for PRIMA through one or more of the themes. Working Groups are listed here, along with their Science Team leads.
