1.2. Roman Resources & Opportunities |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
Roman ROSES-24 Funding Opportunity The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Research and Support Participation Opportunity is to solicit proposals to work on preparation for the operational phase of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. There are two categories for the type of work being proposed: Wide Field Science, to prepare for and/or enhance the science returns of Roman/WFI, and the Coronagraph Community Participation Program, to work with the Coronagraph Instrument team to plan and execute its technology demonstration observations. |

|
Get involved with Roman There are many ways to engage with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope!
Tune In by signing up for news, listening to webinars, and reading documentation to keep the mission on your radar. Interact by sharing in the science, training with Roman’s tools and software, and exploring our simulated data sets. Actively Contribute by joining Wide Field Instrument (WFI) working groups, participating in workshops, and providing feedback to formal committees. |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
Welcome to the home for Roman Documentation (RDox)! Documentation for the Roman Space Telescope is currently under construction and subject to change, but represents the most up-to-date information available. |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
Roman Community Forum This is a monthly virtual meeting that provides updates on Roman mission status and plans, and an opportunity for the science community to engage with the Roman Project and Science Centers. |
||||||||||||||||||||
|
Roman Virtual Lecture Series The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope monthly virtual lecture series is run jointly by JPL, IPAC, Goddard, and STScI. These talks are open to the entire astronomy community and cover science, engineering, and technology related to the Roman mission. All are welcome and encouraged to attend. Talks are ~20 minutes with ~10 minutes for Q/A, and are scheduled for the 3rd Thursday of each month from 1-1:30 pm Pacific / 4-4:30 pm Eastern. |

Roman Slide Sets This presentation highlights the science that will be enabled by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. The presentation includes notes for the presenter and can be used as a whole or in parts. It has been updated with accessibility in mind. The presentation comes in multiple formats, found here. You can find introductory slides about Roman exoplanet studies here. |

Roman Brochure Targeted for launch in late 2026, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will revolutionize astronomy by building on the science discoveries and technological leaps of the Hubble and Webb space telescopes. The Roman brochure, located here, provides a simple way to express the power of Roman's field of view and is useful for all audiences. |

Roman Coronagraph Instrument CAD Models
The Roman Coronagraph is an advanced technology demonstration for future missions that will that will hunt and identify Earth like planets around nearby stars. JPL has provided 3D printable .STL files for printing scale models, 1:5 and 1:11, of the Roman Coronagraph Instrument on any desktop or commercial 3D printer. The assembly is printed in several smaller components which can be assembled to create a replica of the Coronagraph Instrument. Models do not require support material and are in English units. |

STScI
Contact us with questions
The Roman Help Desk is operated jointly by the SOC and the SSC. Contact the SOC helpdesk for questions about SOC tools, WFI imaging, data calibration and archiving, proposal planning and scheduling.
Caltech/IPAC
IPAC is home to the Roman Science Support Center. IPAC is responsible for Roman’s Coronagraph Instrument operations, high-level data processing of grism and prism data from the Wide Field Instrument (WFI), high-level data processing of WFI microlensing survey data and community engagement for Roman exoplanet science and wide field spectroscopy. IPAC will also implement the proposal solicitation and grant management for the Guest Investigator programs, curate telescope instrument and simulation efforts and engage the greater scientific community in preparing for science with Roman.Contact us with questions
The Roman Help Desk is operated jointly by the SOC and the SSC. Contact the SSC helpdesk for questions about WFI spectroscopy, microlensing data processing, the proposal submission and review process, and the coronagraph.
1.4. Future Conference - Be Sure to Mark Your Calendars! |
|---|
Cosmic Cartography with Roman: Advances in Galaxy Structures, Distributions, Dark Matter, and Dark Energy
This conference aims to focus on the intersection of galaxy formation and evolution with dark matter and dark energy. It will explore the novel research that is possible only with large cosmic surveys and simulations and discuss how the community will be able to optimize scientific output with Roman in the future. Topics of discussion will include, but are not limited to, the expected impacts from Roman observations of galaxy clustering, baryon acoustic oscillations, weak lensing, galaxy clusters, supernova cosmology, stellar streams, and dwarf galaxies. The conference will also strive to foster synergies between contemporaneous experiments to Roman, such as Euclid, Rubin’s LSST, DESI, and Simons Observatory. The schedule will feature invited talks, contributed talks, posters, discussion panels, and fun social activities.
