Calling science journalists! On June 21, STScI will host a science writer’s workshop, where astronomers will discuss the capabilities of the Roman Space Telescope, and its collaborations with Webb and Hubble.

Testing recently concluded on the first software release for the
Roman Space Telescope Science Operations Center, hosted at STScI.

This software release includes capabilities for astronomers to begin planning future observations with Roman, scheduled to launch by May 2027.

Since I like to characterize exoplanets, I felt that #NASARoman had limited use since #microlensing is a one and done, never gonna see that planet again, kind of deal. But making the plot below real (and not assumptions on assumption) and nailing down #etaearth is within our reach. #AAS241

Jessie Christiansen gave a wonderful plenary on #exoplanetdemographics. I think I finally have an appreciation for what #NASARoman will do for #exoplanets #AAS241

We started out by hearing about a Canadian project for imaging large areas in the blue. #NASARoman #aas241

Now moving into a discussion of science community preparation for #NASARoman #aas241 https://outerspace.stsci.edu/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=168692694

Now my academic little sister (same PhD advisor) Sabrina Steirwalt is talking #aas241 #NASARoman about observing dwarf galaxies.

Well that was my #GalaxyZoo talk done for #NASARoman. Impossible to read the room for a remote talk, so I have no idea if people were interested.

In particular there'll be a lot of information about galaxy clustering properties as a function of redshift - much better stats with larger areas. #NASARoman #aas241

Yung doing a great job of motivating why large sky areas of unresolved galaxies help a lot with understanding of cosmology. I think it'll be really awesome. #aas241 #NASARoman

#NASARoman will find galaxies at different stages of their evolution—galaxies in small groups and in large clusters, merging galaxies, and newly forming galaxies in a single field of view, as seen in these Hubble images of galaxies in the Coma Cluster.
