Come get your Roman questions answered! The Cycle 1 Proposal Deadline is March 17, 2026. We will present frequently asked questions (FAQs) that have been received by the Roman Help Desk that we think will benefit all proposers. We will also have subject matter experts available to answer any new questions.
The Q&A is designed for users with all levels of experience. Please come with any questions you may have about Roman and Cycle 1 proposals. For resources, please be sure to check out our Help Desk Knowledge Base FAQ page and Cycle 1 Late Breaking News.
List of FAQs:
- How do I estimate RRN credits realistically for a proposal?
- Is there a downloadable Roman survey footprint I can query by RA/Dec? (Will my specific target be observed in the community surveys?)
- Do proposals need to include a detailed dithering strategy? (Which dither pattern combinations are recommended or discouraged?)
- What data products (photometry, light curves) will the project deliver and when?
- Why does the Nexus fail unpredictably, and how do I recover work?
- What does “partial coverage” mean for HLWAS Medium Tier 2?
