Roman Simulated Deep Field

Caption

This simulated Roman deep field image, containing hundreds of thousands of galaxies, represents just 1.3 percent of the synthetic survey, which is itself just one percent of Roman's planned survey. The full simulation is available here: https://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/data/theory/Roman/Troxel2023/overview.html. The galaxies are color coded – redder ones are farther away and whiter ones are nearer. The simulation showcases Roman’s power to conduct large, deep surveys and study the universe statistically in ways that aren’t possible with current telescopes.
