Detecting White Dwarf Exoplanets in the Roman Era
Zifan Lin, Tansu Daylan
White dwarfs (WDs) provide an unparalleled opportunity for detecting and characterizing exoplanets because of the large planet-to-star size ratio. However, only one transiting WD e…
Early Exploration of the Scientific Discovery Space for the Habitable Worlds Observatory
Courtney D. Dressing, Danica Adams, Evelyne Alecian +324
The Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO) is a future NASA flagship mission concept identified by the Astro2020 Decadal Survey as the highest priority for large space missions. HWO sh…
SLSim: a strong lensing population simulation package
Narayan Khadka, Simon Birrer, Henry Best +45
Gravitational lensing offers unique insights into cosmology by bending light around massive objects. Strong gravitational lensing, in particular, produces magnified and often multi…
A Path to an All-Sky Survey with Roman

A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…
The Persistent Thermal Anomalies in Rocky Worlds
Zifan Lin, Tansu Daylan
Observing the dayside thermal emissions of rocky exoplanets provides essential insights into their compositions and the presence of atmospheres. Even though no conclusive evidence…
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
LEO-Vetter: Fully Automated Flux- and Pixel-Level Vetting of TESS Planet Candidates to Support Occurrence Rates
Michelle Kunimoto, Steve Bryson, Drayson Jaffee +7
The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has identified several thousand planet candidates orbiting a wide variety of stars, and has provided an exciting opportunity for de…
Can a Dark Inferno Melt Earth's Core?
Christopher Cappiello, Tansu Daylan
The search for dark matter is one of the crucial open problems in both particle physics and cosmology. If dark matter scatters with Standard Model particles, it could accumulate in…
Overview of the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS)
Christopher S. Reynolds, Erin A. Kara, Richard F. Mushotzky +40
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a Probe-class concept that will build on the legacy of the Chandra X-ray Observatory by providing low-background, arcsecond-resolutio…
Maximizing science return by coordinating the survey strategies of Roman with Rubin, and other major facilities
R. A. Street, S. Gough-Kelly, C. Lam +13
[Abridged] The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be one of several flagship survey facilities operating over the next decade starting 2025. The deep near-IR imaging that…
Searching for dark matter substructure: a deeper wide-area community survey for Roman
Tansu Daylan, Simon Birrer
We recommend a deeper extension to the High-Latitute Wide Area Survey planned to be conducted by the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (\emph{Roman}). While this deeper-tier survey…
NANCY: Next-generation All-sky Near-infrared Community surveY
Jiwon Jesse Han, Arjun Dey, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +206
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is capable of delivering an unprecedented all-sky, high-spatial resolution, multi-epoch infrared map to the astronomical community. This oppor…
The impact of human expert visual inspection on the discovery of strong gravitational lenses
Karina Rojas, Thomas E. Collett, Daniel Ballard +53
We investigate the ability of human 'expert' classifiers to identify strong gravitational lens candidates in Dark Energy Survey like imaging. We recruited a total of 55 people that…
Report of the Topical Group on Cosmic Probes of Fundamental Physics for for Snowmass 2021
Rana X. Adhikari, Luis A. Anchordoqui, Ke Fang +118
Cosmic Probes of Fundamental Physics take two primary forms: Very high energy particles (cosmic rays, neutrinos, and gamma rays) and gravitational waves. Already today, these probe…
Snowmass2021: Vera C. Rubin Observatory as a Flagship Dark Matter Experiment
Yao-Yuan Mao, Annika H. G. Peter, Susmita Adhikari +30
Establishing that Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a flagship dark matter experiment is an essential pathway toward understanding the physical nature of dark matter. In the past two de…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Puzzling Excesses in Dark Matter Searches and How to Resolve Them
Rebecca K. Leane, Seodong Shin, Liang Yang +36
Intriguing signals with excesses over expected backgrounds have been observed in many astrophysical and terrestrial settings, which could potentially have a dark matter origin. Ast…
