A Short History of (Orbital) Decay: Roman's Prospects for Detecting Dying Planets

Kylee Carden, B. Scott Gaudi, Robert F. Wilson

The Roman Space Telescope Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS) is expected to detect ~ transiting planets. Many of these planets will have short orbital periods and are…

Modeling Asteroseismic Yields for the Roman Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey

Trevor J. Weiss, Noah J. Downing, Marc H. Pinsonneault +10

The Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey (GBTDS) of the Roman Space Telescope will take high cadence data of the Galactic bulge. We investigate the asteroseismic potential of this sur…
