Other Community Engagement
- We contributed to the proceedings of the Transients From Space workshop held at STScI, in Baltimore, MD, 2025 March 11-13.
- Ashish Mahabal presented RAPID Insights: Real-Time Transient Classification for Roman.
- A poster describing RAPID.
- RAPID organized and held a STRIDE-themed special session, Time Domain Insights from the Roman Space Telescope, at the 245th AAS in National Harbor, MD, 2025 January 15. (MyST login required to access slides.)
- We presented a proposal for magnitude-limited spectroscopic follow-up with the Subaru Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) of all RAPID-discovered transients and variables at the Roman/Subaru Synergistic Observations workshop held in Tokyo, Japan, 2024 December 16-18. A corresponding White Paper was submitted for consideration by the Roman/Subaru Steering Group.
- We held a hybrid breakout session on July 10, 2024 during the 2024 Roman Science Conference.
- We need you! We are looking to inject other transients into existing image simulations! We are looking for data on:
- Low-luminosity SNe II-P
- Low-luminosity SNe Ib/IIb
- Intermediate-luminosity red transients (ILRTs)
- Luminous red novae (LRNe)
- Fast, blue optical transients (FBOTs)
- AGN flares
- Luminous blue variables/impostors/pre-SN eruptions
- Classical novae
- SLSNe-II
- "normal" SNe IIn
- SNe Ia-CSM
- Double-peaked SNe
- Galactic variables and transients
