Roman for Scientists
@nancyromansci.bsky.social
NancyRomanSci is managed by the Roman Science Centers and provides researchers with the most up-to-date information related to doing science with NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
AUGUST 11: Scientists will discuss the engineering behind #NASARoman’s lift-off and the path to its final destination, as well as the science potential to survey the heart of our Milky Way galaxy and find a variety of objects—including isolated black holes—using innovative techniques.

The next #NASARoman Deep Space Dialogues hosted by @stsci.edu is being held next Tuesday, Aug 11 at 7pm EDT. Get #ReadyForRoman with this excellent slate of speakers. Details and Link to Join Here: www.stsci.edu/contents/eve...
That's a wrap! 🎉 The Shifting Landscapes Conference brought together the Roman community at @caltechipac.bsky.social for four days of exciting presentations and discussion on the science Roman will unlock. The countdown continues: Roman launches August 30! Are you ready? 🚀🔭 #ShiftingLandscapes
🚀This summer's Roman Science Conference kicks off this week at Caltech! "Shifting Landscapes in Astrophysics" brings together the community to explore the exciting science ahead with the Roman — from cosmology to exoplanets to the transient universe. See you there! 🔭✨ #ShiftingLandscapes
Announcing the 118 selected programs for #Roman Cycle 1! Spanning a vast scope from the solar system to large scale structure, the selections include 61 Small, 45 Medium, and 12 Large programs (featuring 5 new General Astrophysics Surveys). 🚀 Full list: bit.ly/4xXPz4i #ExpandOurView
This is not just pretty pictures. The data will be used to help identify and characterise ~100,000 exoplanets that @nancyromansci.bsky.social will find over the next 5 years. @ec-euclid.bsky.social has fired the starting pistol on the golden age of exoplanet discovery. 🧪🔭 @eucliduk.bsky.social
🚨 Registration for this summer's Roman Science Conference closes TODAY, Friday, June 26! 🛰️”Shifting Landscapes in Astrophysics: New Frontiers to Explore with Roman” — from exoplanets to galaxy evolution and cosmology! 🗓️ July 13-16 📍 Caltech, Pasadena, CA 🔗 bit.ly/4ozrhsT
The IPAC: Your Passport to the Universe splinter session at #AAS248 featured a live Roman Coronagraph Instrument demo with....LASERS — a fun way to preview the Roman Coronagraph tech demo and celebrate IPAC's 40th! We all had fun! #ExpandOurView #NASARoman #RomanCoronagraph
Just imagine: Roman, Hubble, and Webb all working together! #AAS248
