wide-area and time-domain surveys at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. The primary mission objectives are studies in cosmology and exoplanet demographics, but a wide range of astrophysical investigations are anticipated.
<i>Roman</i> hosts two instruments. The Wide-Field Instrument (WFI) is a 300-megapixel visible to near-IR camera with an 0.28 deg<sup>2
</sup>field-of-view and both imaging and spectroscopic capabilities. The Coronagraph Instrument is a technology demonstration using a coronagraph to suppress starlight and achieve the extreme contrasts needed to directly detect circumstellar disks and exoplanets
in reflected light.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
