Title:
Promises and challenges of the Roman microlensing survey
Abstract:
The Roman microlensing survey is expected to detect thousands of cold planets and will revolutionize our understanding of the exoplanet demographics, as well as planet formation mechanisms. I will present the microlensing technique and highlight its unique capabilities, and present the Roman microlensing survey, as well as the challenges that will bring this unique dataset.
