Call for Community Input into the Definition of the Roman Space Telescope’s Core Community Surveys
| Info | ||

https://roman.gsfc.nasa.gov/science/ccs_community_input.html |
The Roman Mission requests the astronomical community's input for the purpose of initiating the community-led definition of the Roman Space Telescope's Core Community Surveys.
To maximize participation, this call for input consists of two independent avenues for members of the community to provide information on science drivers and the requirements they place on the design of the Core Community Surveys. The second avenue, technically focused white papers describing what observing strategies are needed for a given science investigation, is now open. White papers are due by June 16, 2023. The first avenue, submission of a short, one to two paragraph 'science pitch' (including a questionnaire) was due February 17, 2023, and resulted in more than 100 submissions. Submission of a science pitch is not required for submission of a white paper.
All members of the community are encouraged to submit their science investigation ideas. The Roman Mission wants to hear from scientists worldwide across all career stages, positions, and types of institutions. All input will be passed to the committees that will be formed of community members and tasked with defining the Core Community Surveys.

How to Connect With Us
This Town Hall session will provide an opportunity for the Astrophysics science community to interact with members of the leadership team and staff of the Astrophysics Division (APD) of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Scientific accomplishments, programmatic milestones and directions, and NASA’s progress towards implementing the missions identified in the Astro2020 Decadal Survey: Pathways to Discovery in Astronomy and Astrophysics for the2020s. | Monday June 10 2024: 12:45 PM CT - 1:15 PM CT | |
Lecture Hall | STScI Town Hall The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) serves the astronomical community through the operation of multiple NASA flagship missions including the Hubble, JWST, and Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescopes, the development of advanced data and science archives, including Kepler, K2, GALEX and TESS, and the dissemination of astronomical information to the broadest public audiences. STScI provides support to the community and is the primary user interface for Hubble and JWST and will perform that role for Wide Field Imaging with Roman. STScI will contribute to a wide range of workshops, science sessions, splinter meetings, and exhibits throughout the meeting.

STScI (Booth 305)
STScI is Roman’s Science Operations Center (SOC). The SOC is responsible for the mission's observation scheduling system, WFI data processing system for the direct-imaging mode and the mission's entire data archive. STScI performed pre-formulation, formulation, and design activities for Roman starting in 2014, and continues its role in science operations system engineering, design, science research support, and scientific community engagement and public outreach.

The Roman Help Desk is operated joinly 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 (Booth 500)
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 General Observer, Guest Investigator and Theory programs, curate telescope instrument and simulation efforts and engage the greater scientific community in preparing for science with Roman.| Info | ||

The Roman HST Help Desk is operated joinly 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. |
JPL Exoplanet Exploration Program
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory is building the Roman Coronagraph Instrument, which will demonstrate the technologies needed for future missions to image and characterize rocky planets in the habitable zones of their stars. By demonstrating these tools in an integrated end-to-end system and enabling scientific observations, NASA will validate performance models and provide the pathway for potential future missions and technologies.

Description
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, planned to launch in late 2026, will provide a simultaneous field of view 100 times larger than that of JWST, and sensitivity and resolution similar to that of HST. With incredible survey speeds, Roman will perform near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic surveys approximately 1000 times faster than the largest surveys on HST, yielding contiguously surveyed areas rivaling ground-based surveys. With these capabilities, the Roman surveys, both community-defined Core Community Surveys and competed General Astrophysics Surveys, will have broad impacts across all of astrophysics. Furthermore, Roman’s survey capabilities will be highly synergistic with JWST's ground-breaking sensitivity, extended wavelength coverage, and broad range of observing modes. Together, these observatories will operate in tandem not only with Hubble, but also with Rubin, Euclid, other ground-based and space-based facilities of the 2020s. The first year of science from JWST is already providing exciting scientific results on a wide range of topics that are relevant for Roman. We therefore announce a conference at the Space Telescope Science Institute (Baltimore, MD, USA) from June 19-23, 2023 that will focus on how emerging new results from JWST inform the planning for Roman’s surveys, including the science questions the surveys can address and their anticipated scientific yield. In concordance with the broad range of astrophysics addressed by both missions, we welcome contributions on all scientific topics connected to this theme, from solar system objects and exoplanets, to nearby galaxies, to the search for the first stars and galaxies, and everything in between. A writer's workshop will be offered concurrently with the conference.
