Formed in 2023, our NASA-funded team is -building the software and human infrastructure required to successfully execute the exoplanet component of the -GBTDS. The 2020 Decadal Survey states that Roman is *“the only platform in the coming decades -that can produce a statistical census of planetary occurrence as a function of orbital -separation and mass, from terrestrials to gas giants, beyond 1 AU”*. - - -The exoplanet survey will make use of Roman's wide-field instrument (WFI): The RGES PIT -has four major scientific and programmatic objectives: - -* Confirm and/or reconfirm the five level-1 RGES science requirements -* Improve the microlensing event rate and yield calculations by improving the input Galactic models, -incorporating new measurements of the near-infrared event rate obtained by the PRIME survey -* Develop and test the prototype photometry and astrometry pipeline, event detection pipeline, -lightcurve modeling pipeline, and detection efficiency (or completeness) pipeline, with the goal of -making these publicly-available and user-friendly -* Develop the occurrence rate formalism and methodology. - -Click through for more details on the [Team]({{ site.url }}{{ -site.baseurl }}/about/team/), [RGES Design]({{ site.url }}{{ -site.baseurl }}/design/), or [RGES Science]({{ site.url }}{{ -site.baseurl }}/science/). - - -
