Abstract
Future exoplanet direct imaging instruments will be capability of detecting and spectrally characterizing Earth-like exoplanets, but which stars to observe, how long they should be observed, or how to follow up the detection of an exoplanet that appears Earth-like are still open questions.In this dissertation, I validate the probability based yield estimation technique, called completeness, for estimating single-visit blind search yield of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope by simulating a Monte Carlo of full mission simulations. I show the Roman Coronagraphic Instrument (CGI) is largely sensitive to gas giants, planets that move relatively slowly in planet-star separation (
