"Galaxies by the Millions" Fact Sheet

The Roman Space Telescope 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. Notice that each fact sheet contains distinct sections which highlight specific research areas or topics.

Our next fact sheet, Galaxies by the Millions, will focus on Roman’s potential contributions to our understanding of the structure, composition, interactions, and evolution of galaxies outside the Milky Way. Our goal is to ensure that this fact sheet includes information that an expert on Roman’s capabilities with respect to galaxy survey science would expect to find, and that a galaxy researcher wondering what Roman has to offer would hope to find. Given the nature of galaxy survey science and the planned Roman surveys, there is likely to be overlap in material from the existing fact sheets on stars and cosmology. The sections for this fact sheet should highlight the potential research areas related to galaxies.

We welcome your input on the important science topics for the sections of the "GALAXIES BY THE MILLIONS" face sheet, as well as compelling images to accompany those sections. 

Thank you for your time!

Part #3: PROVIDE MORE DETAILED INFO ON A GALAXY TOPIC

For the topic(s) that you are most familiar with or care about, we would like to know the level of content that should be included in this fact sheet.  Feel free to enter information in any, or none, of the fields below. If you want to fill this section out for more topics, use the additional free-form field at the end of this section OR fill out this form again.

Enter the topic that will be the focus of the answers to the questions below.

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.

Part #4

If you would like to provide us with more information, please answer the following questions.

Why would you pick up or hand out a flyer like this?

Any additional information that you would like to provide? (E.g. links to papers, background resources, PPTs, etc.)

Thank you for your time in filling out this survey form.
