Research and Support Participation Opportunities - Roman ROSES Call

Image Removed

RESEARCH AND SUPPORT PARTICIPATION OPPORTUNITIES

ROSES call in Apr 2022 (draft) solicits science and infrastructure teams to work on broad range of science preparatory efforts and develop infrastructure to pursue science goals.

This solicitation represents a tripartite opportunity to provide for participation of the astrophysics community in the Roman mission through the categories of:

  • Wide Field Science - for investigations spanning a broad range of science preparation efforts
    • Roman Science Team Community Briefing (WFI) - In November 2021 the Roman Project held a virtual community workshop to share with the astronomical community the extensive work that has been done by the outgoing Roman science investigation teams to provide scientific support for mission design activities.
  • Project Infrastructure Teams - for the development of scientific infrastructure needed to enable science goals that are part of mission's success criteria, and 
  • Coronagraph Community Participation - to work in collaboration with the coronagraph team in addressing the set of requirements and objectives associated with an in-space technology demonstration of a high-contrast coronagraph

The NASA point of contact concerning this program is Dominic Benford, who will be attending this AAS meeting.

Roman Virtual Lecture Series

The 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. 

STScI  (Booth

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.

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.

JPL Exoplanet Exploration Program  (Booth 702)

JPL is building Roman’s Coronograph Instrument and is involved with detector validation and developing the coronagraph’s science capabilities. The coronagraph will provide the first in-space demonstration of technologies needed for future missions to image and characterize rocky planets in the habitable zones of nearby 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 flagship missions.

Info
titleCheck out our coronagraph demo

Come by our booth to learn how a coronagraph, an instrument that scientists use to block out a star’s light to directly image the planets orbiting around it, works and will be used on future NASA missions, like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope.

Future Conference - Be Sure to Mark Your Calendars!

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.

If you have any questions, you can email us at romanssc@ipac.caltech.edu

selected a diverse team from Ball Aerospace to design and develop the Wide Field Instrument (WFI) Opto-Mechanical Assembly for the Roman Space Telescope mission. Ball is partnered with NASA to support the optical-mechanical assembly, integration and test of WFI. The optical-mechanical assembly, which includes the optical bench, thermal control system, precision mechanisms, optics, and electronics, provides the stable structure and thermal environment that enables the wide field, high quality observations of WFI. Ball's design uses heritage hardware to unfold the incoming light, providing cost and schedule savings to the mission
