New HLSP: Terry Hubble Observations of Roman (THOR) early-release catalog of point sources in the Roman Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey footprint. Multi-passband photometry and astrometry (ACS+WFC3, F606W+F814W) cross-matched to HST-WFC3IR and Gaia DR3 where available. archive.stsci.edu/hlsp/thor

This two-panel figure shows, on the left; the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) for four of the early-release fields (HD16, HD70, HD98, and HD138). The stars in each of these four CMDs are in different positions in color and magnitude-space, largely due to the differential reddening and extinction along these sight lines toward the galactic bulge. On the right; the CMD of stars in the HD138 field, along with cross-identified Gaia DR3 stars (colored by Gaia G mag). The right-panel demonstrates the vast difference in detection efficiency and limiting magnitudes between Gaia DR3 and HST, where Gaia extends down to F814W of ~19.5, the HST detections extend to F814W of ~24.

Planetary Nebulae with #Hubble ACS (lower left image uses WFC3) with filters F606W, F814W. All from this program: archive.stsci.edu/proposal_sea... PI: Sean Terry @seanterry.bsky.social

All planetary nebulae are blue and located in very star-rich fields. Upper left nebula shows maybe spiral-like structure. Upper middle nebula is circular with a donut-like shape. Upper right is bipolar with a distinct eye-shape in the middle. Lower left is bright, small and circular with a distinct outer wall and a relative bright central star. Lower middle is very faint, large and circular. Lower right is elliptical with two shells.

NASA has completed the construction of #NASARoman! Last month, technicians joined the inner and outer portions of the observatory in Maryland. After final testing, Roman will move to the launch site at the Kennedy Space Center for launch preparations in summer 2026: go.nasa.gov/48EqnE8 🔭 🧪

Two technicians in clean suits inspect a the completed Roman Space Telescope in a clean room at a NASA assembly facility.

Technicians recently tested two major deployments for the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: the Deployable Aperture Cover (DAC) and the Solar Array Sun Shield (SASS): go.nasa.gov/41X95PN #NASARoman 🔭 🧪

This is a great program, and I am supervising one of the available positions! Please consider applying or sharing if you know anyone interested. Happy to talk about the job in DMs 🔭

Imagine a telescope that can perform 200 Hubble Ultra Deep Fields in near-infrared light at once. #NASARoman is up to the task. 🔭 🧪 hubblesite.org/contents/new...
