Summary
The NASA Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (Rubin), will transform our view of the wide-field sky, with similar sensitivities, but complementary in wavelength, spatial resolution, and time domain coverage. A number of science topics can be uniquely addressed considering Roman and Rubin synergies in observing strategy, data products and archiving, joint analysis, and community engagement.
With both surveys coming online soon, now is the time to start developing concrete and implementable plans. This AAS Splinter Session aims to bring together the Roman and Rubin community to provide an updated look at possible synergies, with a specific focus on the data sets themselves. The session will consider the most impactful strategies for co-processing the data from both observatories. Topics may include, but are not limited to, simple catalog matching, joint pixel-level processing, and combining time domain data sets. The format will include a combination of both talks and open space for discussion. The intention is to lay the ground-work for future workshops and planning activities within the community to ensure these ideas can become a reality.
