Why is the LSST Science Platform built on Kubernetes?
Christine Banek, Adam Thornton, Frossie Economou +3
LSST has chosen Kubernetes as the platform for deploying and operating the LSST Science Platform. We first present the background reasoning behind this decision, including both ins…
DES Science Portal: Creating Science-Ready Catalogs
Angelo Fausti Neto, Luiz da Costa, Aurelio Carnero Rosell +55
We present a novel approach for creating science-ready catalogs through a software infrastructure developed for the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We integrate the data products release…
The LSST Data Management System
Mario Jurić, Jeffrey Kantor, K-T Lim +62
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a large-aperture, wide-field, ground-based survey system that will image the sky in six optical bands from 320 to 1050 nm, uniformly c…
The DES Science Verification Weak Lensing Shear Catalogues
M. Jarvis, E. Sheldon, J. Zuntz +92
We present weak lensing shear catalogues for 139 square degrees of data taken during the Science Verification (SV) time for the new Dark Energy Camera (DECam) being used for the Da…
The Difference Imaging Pipeline for the Transient Search in the Dark Energy Survey
R. Kessler, J. Marriner, M. Childress +60
We describe the difference imaging pipeline (DiffImg) used to detect transients in deep images from the Dark Energy Survey Supernova program (DES-SN) in its first observing season…
The Dark Energy Camera
B. Flaugher, H. T. Diehl, K. Honscheid +115
The Dark Energy Camera is a new imager with a 2.2-degree diameter field of view mounted at the prime focus of the Victor M. Blanco 4-meter telescope on Cerro Tololo near La Serena,…
Automated Transient Identification in the Dark Energy Survey
D. A. Goldstein, C. B. D'Andrea, J. A. Fischer +64
We describe an algorithm for identifying point-source transients and moving objects on reference-subtracted optical images containing artifacts of processing and instrumentation. T…
Modelling the Transfer Function for the Dark Energy Survey
C. Chang, M. T. Busha, R. H. Wechsler +40
We present a forward-modelling simulation framework designed to model the data products from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). This forward-model process can be thought of as a transfe…
Photometric redshift analysis in the Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data
C. Sánchez, M. Carrasco Kind, H. Lin +74
We present results from a study of the photometric redshift performance of the Dark Energy Survey (DES), using the early data from a Science Verification (SV) period of observation…
PreCam, a Precursor Observational Campaign for Calibration of the Dark Energy Survey
K. Kuehn, S. Kuhlmann, S. Allam +40
PreCam, a precursor observational campaign supporting the Dark Energy Survey (DES), is designed to produce a photometric and astrometric catalog of nearly a hundred thousand standa…
The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III
III collaboration, Hiroaki Aihara, Carlos Allende Prieto +178
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in August 2008, with new instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, measurements…
