Published purpose

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope’s Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey will obtain wide-field, time-series imaging to search for microlensing events of extrasolar planet systems. The proposed project will leverage these observations to demonstrate the ability of Roman imaging to also detect transiting exoplanets. Initial estimates suggest that 100 000 new transiting planets can be discovered, which will transform our knowledge of exoplanet demographics. Our project will develop the necessary infrastructure to optimize Roman observations for transit-exoplanet science.
