Abstract (from CDS):

The Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey (GBTDS) of the Roman Space Telescope will take high-cadence data of the Galactic bulge. We investigate the asteroseismic potential of this survey for red giants. We simulate the detectability of global asteroseismic frequencies, ${\nu }_{{\rm{\max }}}$ and Δν, by modifying Kepler data to match nominal GBTDS observing strategies, considering different noise models, observing cadences, and detection algorithms. Our baseline case, using conservative assumptions, consistently leads to asteroseismic ${\nu }_{{\rm{\max }}}$ detection probabilities above 80% for red clump and red giant branch (RGB) stars brighter than the 16th magnitude in Roman's F146 filter. We then inject these detection probabilities into a Galaxia model of the bulge to estimate asteroseismic yields. For our nominal case, we detect 290,000 stars in total, with 185,000 detections in the bulge. Different assumptions give bulge yields from 135,000 to 349,000 stars. For stars with measured ${\nu }_{{\rm{\max }}}$, we find that we can recover Δν in 21%-42% of red clump stars, and 69%-92% of RGB stars. The expected yield and stellar parameter precision we predict for Roman asteroseismology promise to characterize planet-hosting stellar populations and to resolve questions regarding the formation history of the bulge.
