This Working Group is charged with identifying science questions that can be addressed by exploiting synergies between the two new major AURA survey facilities coming this decade: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory (Rubin) and the NASA Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman). The Working Group reports to the STScI Director, Ken Sembach, and the NOIRLab Director, Pat McCarthy.

...

With this working group, we aim to explore Roman-Rubin synergies beyond the well-covered field topic of CosmologyDark Energy.  The Working Group will investigate which general astrophysics areas would benefit most from Roman-Rubin joint analysis, what science questions could be uniquely be addressed by Roman-Rubin working together, and how the coordination of observations, data analysis and data archiving could best realize these synergies. 

WG members: Suvi Gezari (STScI, Chair), Edo Berger (Harvard), Misty Bentz (Georgia State), Edo Berger (Harvard), Kishalay De (MIT), Decker French (University of Illinois), Robert Jedicke (Hawaii IfA), Aaron Meisner (NOIRLab), Michelle Ntampaka (STScI), Ekta Patel (Berkeley), Dan Perley (Liverpool), Robyn Sanderson (UPenn/Flatiron), Irene Shivaei (Arizona)
