abstract

This note presents an initial survey design for the Nancy Grace Roman High-latitude Time Domain Survey. This is not meant to be a final or exhaustive list of all the survey strategy choices, but instead presents a viable path towards achieving the desired precision and accuracy of dark energy measurements using Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia). We describe a survey strategy that use six filters (RZYJH and F) and the prism on the Roman Wide Field Instrument. This survey has two tiers, one "wide" which targets SNe Ia at redshifts up to 1 and one "deep" targeting redshifts up to 1.7; for each, four filters are used (with Y and J used in both tiers). We propose one field each in the north and south continuous viewing zones, and expect to obtain high-quality distances of $\sim$12,000 SNe Ia with $\sim$5,000 at z > 1. We propose a wide-tier area of $\sim$19 deg$^2$ and a deep tier of $\sim$5 deg$^2$. Exposure times range from 100 s to 900 s for imaging and 900 s to 3600 s for the prism. These exposure times would reach $\sim$25.5 mag and $\sim$26.5 mag for the wide and deep tiers respectively, with deep co-add stacks reaching $\sim$28 mag and $\sim$29 mag. The total survey spans two years, with a total allocation time of six months, and a cadence of $\sim$5 days.

  1. No Surviving Companion to the Galactic SN 1181: Evidence for a Double-Degenerate Channel for Type Iax Supernovae

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SN 1181 has no surviving He-star or luminous hydrogen-rich companion down to M_g > 8 mag within 0.3 pc, ruling out the single-degenerate channel for this faint Type Iax supernova and pointing to a white-dwarf merger.

  2. Ultraviolet to Infrared Spectroscopy of the Type Ibn SN 2023tsz Suggests a Lower-mass Progenitor

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    UV-to-IR spectra of SN 2023tsz are best matched by interaction models of a ~4 solar-mass stripped helium star with an added X-ray field, supporting a lower-mass binary-stripped progenitor.

  3. Chromatic Effects Across the Roman Focal Plane: Implications for Supernova Photometry and Measurements of Cosmological Parameters

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    FPA-dependent chromatic shifts of +6 to -80 Å bias Roman SN Ia cosmology to Δw0≈-0.06 and Δwa≈0.24 unless corrected to ~20% accuracy; coherent 0.06% shifts are negligible.

  4. Tidal disruption event rates across cosmic time: forecasts for LSST, Roman, and JWST and their constraints on the supermassive black hole mass function

    astro-ph.HE 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    TDE rates across redshift are predicted to be highly sensitive to the evolution of the low-mass supermassive black hole mass function, with LSST, Roman, and JWST able to test this.

  5. Supernova Classification using the Recurrent Neural Network in the CSST Ultra-Deep Field Survey

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In mock CSST-UDF data, an LSTM classifier plus JLA-like cuts yields a >99.5% pure Type Ia sample and recovers Ω_M and w to 14% and 18% in a flat wCDM model.
