UK Astronomy Science and Technology Roadmap: STFC Astronomy Advisory Panel Roadmap 2022

Abstract

This document summarises the UK astronomy community's science and technology priorities for funding and investments in the coming decades, following a series of national community consultations by the Astronomy Advisory Panel of the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC). The facility remit of STFC is ground-based so the infrastructure recommendations are necessarily also ground-based, but the report also recognises the importance of STFC-funded technology development for, and science exploitation of, the ESA science program including but not limited to X-ray, gamma-ray and multimessenger astronomy.
