The Roman outreach team at STScI created a series of one-page fact sheets for astronomers with the goal of informing the broader astronomy community of the important science enable by Roman. The fact sheets are linked below. Each fact sheet contains distinct sections to highlight specific research areas or topics.

  • "Roman: Set to Survey the Sky" with subsections on 
    • "Expand your View", "Explore All of Astrophysics", "Democratize Data Access", "Complement other Observatories", "Propel Future Discoveries"
  • "Roman: Stars by the Billions" 
    • Subsections include "Stellar Populations of the Milky Way Bulge and Disk", "Stellar Populations of the Milky Way Halo", "Resolved Stellar Populations in Nearby Galaxies", "Stellar Oddities"
  • "Cosmology with Roman" 
    • Subsections include "Big Data to Address Big Questions", "Type Ia Supernova Surveys", "Mapping Distribution of Galaxies", "Weak Lensing", "Other Cosmological Studies", "Synergies"
  • "Galaxies by the Millions"
    • Subsections include "Galaxy Formation and Evolution", "Galaxy Properties", "Galaxies, Black Holes, and AGN", "Galaxies and their Environments", "High Redshift Galaxies", "Synergies"

Developing "Planets by the Thousands" Fact Sheet

Our next fact sheet, "Planets by the Thousands", will focus on Roman’s potential contributions to our understanding of __________________________________"

The fact sheet will include information that an expert on Roman’s capabilities with respect to planets would expect to find, AND that a exoplanet or solar system scientist wondering what Roman has to offer would hope to find.

We welcome your input on the important science topics for the SUB-SECTIONS on the "PLANETS BY THE THOUSANDS" fact sheet, as well as compelling images to accompany those sections. 

Thank you for your time!

What type of information would you expect to find for this topic(e.g. numbers, stats, facts, etc. at a suggested level of detail.)

How do you envision using the High-latitude surveys to advance research for this topic?

How would you envision using Guest Observer time for this topic?

How will synergies with other missions/telescopes advance this topic?

What are some resources for this topic area (e.g., relevant white papers, referred papers, presentations, etc.)

Use this field to enter answer to the above questions for a second topic. OR you can take the survey again and fill out just this section for the secondary topic.
