Other Community Engagement

  • We contributed to the proceedings of the Transients From Space workshop held at STScI, in Baltimore, MD, 2025 March 11-13.
  • 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.
    • Slides, providing high-level background information about RAPID, that were presented to stimulate discussion are available here.
    • A recording from Zoom of the proceedings of the session can be viewed here.
  • 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
