Leadership and Participation in NASA's Astrophysics Explorer-Class Missions
Abstract
We have conducted a data study of leadership and participation in NASA’s Astrophysics Explorer-class missions for the nine solicitations issued during the period 2008-2016, using gender as a marker of diversity. Our data show a stark lack of diversity, compared to the representation of women in astronomy and astrophysics as a whole.
