Roman Galactic Plane General Astrophysics Survey Community Input

26 April 2024

The Roman Space Telescope team requests the science community’s participation in the community-led definition of a Roman Galactic Plane General Astrophysics Survey.

We are seeking broader input into the range of science investigations the community would like to see enabled by this survey. We are simultaneously seeking to form a definition committee composed of members of the science community who represent the breadth of science the community wants to see enabled with the Galactic Plane Survey, and the diversity of the scientists who will ultimately use Roman’s datasets. We are thus requesting (a) community input into the definition of the Roman Galactic Plane Survey in the form of either short science pitches or more detailed white papers, requested by May 20, 2024; and (b) self-nominations to serve on the definition committee for the Roman Galactic Plane Survey, requested by May 20, 2024.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
