Overview of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument and Its Technology Demonstration
Dr. Robert Zellem from NASA JPL presents the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope Coronagraph Instrument, which will be the first high-performance stellar coronagraph using active wavefront control for deep starlight suppression in space, providing unprecedented levels of contrast, spatial resolution, and sensitivity for astronomical observations in the optical. During its Technology Demonstration phase, the Coronagraph will resolve the signal of an exoplanet via photometry and spectroscopy and directly image and measure the polarization of disks, providing a critical intermediate step toward establishing the technology and methods that will potentially be used with a future UVIOR mission. Here, I present the Roman Coronagraph’s design and capability as well as some anticipated results from its technology demonstration.

Testing Hierarchical Models of Galaxy Evolution with the Roman Space Telescope
Roman will greatly expand our sampling of the structures, colors, and spectroscopic properties of galaxies over a significant fraction of cosmic time. This session will bring together observers and theorists to discuss how to optimize both the observing strategy and the simulation strategy to make the most incisive tests of theoretical models.
Town Hall
Ballroom D

The Roman Space Telescope and You
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will revolutionize space-based astronomy with its unprecedented combination of sensitivity, angular resolution, and survey speed. With less than five years to launch, now is the time to prepare for the flood of science it will enable. Dr. Dominic Benford from NASA HQ presents a new proposal opportunity that is available this year for *you* to be involved.

Ballroom D
Roman Town Hall
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (formerly WFIRST) is a NASA flagship mission planned for launch in the mid 2020s. This session will cover the status of the project and upcoming opportunities for community involvement in planning and executing the science and technology demonstration aspects of Roman. The focus will be on Roman opportunities: ROSES call, Astrophysics Survey RFI, etc. It will be followed by a reception.

STScI (Booth 24)
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 13)
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.

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.
