Page History

The Roman Space Telescope outreach team at STScI created a series of one-page fact sheets for astronomers with the goal of informing the broader astronomy community of the important science enable by Roman. The completed fact sheets are linked below. Each fact sheet, listed below, contains 4-6 distinct sections to highlight specific research areas or topics.  

• "Roman: Set to Survey the Sky" 
• "Roman: Stars by the Billions" 
• "Cosmology with Roman" 
• "Galaxies by the Millions"

Developing "Planets by the Thousands" Fact Sheet

Our next fact sheet, "Planets by the Thousands", will focus on Roman’s potential contributions to our understanding of __________________________________"the diversity of planets and the formation and evolution of planetary systems. The fact sheet will include information that an expert on Roman’s capabilities with respect to planets exoplanets/planetary systems would expect to find , AND and that a any exoplanet or solar system scientist wondering what Roman has to offer would hope to find.

We welcome your input on the important science topics for the SUB-SECTIONS on distinct sections in the "PLANETS BY THE THOUSANDS" fact sheet, as well as suggestions for compelling images to accompany those sections. 

DUE DATE: Any Information provided by OCTOBER 22, 2021 will be used to help develop this new fact sheet on planets.

Thank you for your time!
