The MWA Galactic and Extragalactic science working group (GEG-SWG) is one of five key science programs. GEG-SWG members are interested in the study of science topics that exclude the EoR, the Sun/Heliosphere/Ionosphere, Pulsars and variable sources.  GEG Team Leaders, who are assisted by the GEG Chair(s), lead the GEG science teams.  There are currently six science teams and a team for each GEG large or community projects, which are each led by a Team Leader.  The science teams (not associated with large or community projects) are:
