Call for Community Input into the Definition of the Roman Space Telescope’s Core Community Surveys
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA's next flagship observatory, is planned for launch in late 2026. 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.. Combined, these surveys are anticipated to use most of the observing time during Roman’s first five years. The cosmology and exoplanet science requirements for these surveys leave significant parameter space available to define the observational strategies (filters, depth, cadence, etc.) in a way that will enable a broad range of astrophysical investigations. This call for input consisted 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 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. The second avenue, technically focused white papers describing what observing strategies are needed for a given science investigation were due by June 16, 2023. Over 70 submissions were received. All input is being passed to the committees that will be formed of community members and tasked with defining the Core Community Surveys. We are now in the process of forming these 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 ForumThe Roman Space Telescope mission partners are planning to start the Roman Community Forum. This will be This is a monthly virtual meeting that will provide 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 SeriesThe 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

NASA
(Booth 702)The Roman Space Telescope Project Office is at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, which also oversees the work on the Wide Field Instrument (WFI), the Spacecraft Bus, and System Integration. At this booth, you can learn more about NASA's Nancy Grace Roman mission as well as the mission's Coronagraph Instrument. Roman's Coronagraph Instrument is being built by NASA JPL.Info | ||

Come by the NASA Town Hall, date TBD , to hear the latest news about Roman and other NASA efforts from NASA officials. |
STScI
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.Info | ||

The Roman 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. |
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.

How Roman Observations Will Confront Theory
https://conference.ipac.caltech.edu/roman2024/
Dates:
July 9 - 12, 2024
Location:
Caltech/IPAC campus
Description:
The goal of this 4-day conference is to bring together inclusively members of the community to discuss how observations with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will confront and challenge theories, from exoplanets to the edge of the Universe. The conference will focus mainly on the Core Community Surveys -- the Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey, High Latitude Wide Area Survey, and High Latitude Time Domain Survey, which will occupy the majority of the primary mission -- as well as the Coronagraph Instrument technology demonstration. However, there are boundless theories that will also be addressed and tested by the wide variety of General Astrophysics Surveys. This conference, to take place on the Caltech campus and online, will be an active and exciting confluence of both observers and theorists to outline the potential breakthroughs that could be made possible during the lifetime of the Roman Space Telescope.
