The Working Group Concept
In order to maximize the science return and legacy value of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s Wide Field Instrument (WFI), the Roman Project Office charters a number of Working Groups. Each of these Working Groups is dedicated to discussing and advising the Roman Project and its partners on key elements for preparing for WFI data and operations. Examples include calibration and processing of the WFI data, simulations of WFI data, and support for the definition of Roman's Core Community Surveys. While the Working Groups are private, anyone in the scientific community can request membership below..
Please submit this form to request being added to any new Working Group, even if you have already requested access to other Working Groups.
Being added to a Working Group grants you both specific page permissions and access to the email listserve.
A description of the working groups can be found here.
