Science White Paper Questions:

Brainstorming front matter:

• Gamma-ray astrophysics gets to the heart of multimessenger and time domain astronomy
• Cosmic cycle of elements and energy

Brainstorming Science key questions:

• What are the signatures of element creation?
• What are the origins of the elements and their messengers?
• How do massive stars end their lives?
• What physical processes govern explosions, eg SN1a?
• What do indirect tracers of dark matter tell us about their properties?
• What does the non-thermal emission tell us about how the universe works?
• How do particle acceleration and propagation work?
• How do compact objets form and evolve?
• What is the origin and composition of relativistic jets?
• How does matter behave under extreme density, gravity, and magnetic field?
