Roman Galactic Plane General Astrophysics Survey

The Roman Space Telescope (RST) 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 20 May 2024; and (b) self-nominations to serve on the definition commit-tee for the Roman Galactic Plane Survey, requested by 20 May 2024.

For full details on this call, including context on how this call relates to previous calls, please visit the Galactic Plane General Astrophysics Survey Definition webpage.
