Investigating the Dark Energy Constraint from Strongly Lensed AGN at LSST-Scale
Sydney Erickson, Martin Millon, Padmavathi Venkatraman +12
The paper presents a scalable hierarchical inference framework to jointly analyze hundreds of strongly lensed AGN time delays from LSST, forecasting a ~2.5% measurement of H0 and a…
An overview of stray light findings and interpretation during on-sky commissioning of LSSTCam
Gabriele Rodeghiero, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Alessio Taranto +78
Wide-field telescopes are intrinsically difficult to shield from unwanted stray and scattered light, while the search to identify sources of contaminating light is frequently a cha…
Modeling of the diffuse background produced by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory M2 baffle scattered light
Alessio Taranto, Gabriele Rodeghiero, Luca Rosignoli +58
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with its unprecedented field of view and fast focal ratio, will survey the entire sky every 3.5 nights. This unique capacity requires dealing with of…
COOL-LAMPS II. Characterizing the Size and Star Formation History of a Bright Strongly Lensed Early-Type Galaxy at Redshift 1.02
Ezra Sukay, Gourav Khullar, Michael D. Gladders +17
We present COOL J1323+0343, an early-type galaxy at , strongly lensed by a cluster of galaxies at z = . This object was originally image…
COOL-LAMPS IX: A Rare Duo of Quasars Each Lensed by a Single Massive Galaxy Cluster
Erik Solhaug, Michael D. Gladders, Andi M. Kisare +20
Wide-separation lensed quasars (WSLQs) are rare systems that arise from the chance alignment of two objects: a galaxy cluster and a background quasar. After two decades, only seven…
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Preview 1
Vera C Rubin Observatory Team, Tatiana Acero Cuellar, Emily Acosta +325
We present Rubin Data Preview 1 DP1, the first data from the NSF DOE Vera C Rubin Observatory, comprising raw and calibrated single epoch images, coadds, difference images, detecti…
