The LSST Science Pipelines Software: Optical Survey Pipeline Reduction and Analysis Environment
Rubin Observatory Science Pipelines Developers, Yusra AlSayyad, Robert Armstrong +83
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is executing the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) as its prime mission, producing a series of data releases over the ten-year survey. Th…
Expected Impact of Glints from Space Debris in the LSST
J. Anthony Tyson, Adam Snyder, Daniel Polin +2
We examine the simple model put forth in a recent note by Loeb regarding the brightness of space debris in the size range of 1-10 cm and their impact on the Rubin Observatory Legac…
Satellite Constellation Avoidance with the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Jinghan Alina Hu, Meredith L. Rawls, Peter Yoachim +1
We investigate a novel satellite avoidance strategy to mitigate the impact of large commercial satellite constellations in low-Earth orbit on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy S…
The Case for Space Environmentalism
A. Lawrence, M. L. Rawls, M. Jah +8
The shell bound by the Karman line at a height of 80 to 100km above the Earth's surface, and Geosynchronous Orbit, at 36,000km, is defined as the orbital space surrounding the Eart…
Satellite Constellation Internet Affordability and Need
Meredith L. Rawls, Heidi B. Thiemann, Victor Chemin +3
Large satellite constellations in low-Earth orbit seek to be the infrastructure for global broadband Internet and other telecommunication needs. We briefly review the impacts of sa…
Mitigation of LEO Satellite Brightness and Trail Effects on the Rubin Observatory LSST
J. Anthony Tyson, Željko Ivezić, Andrew Bradshaw +8
We report studies on the mitigation of optical effects of bright low-Earth-orbit (LEO) satellites on Vera C. Rubin Observatory and its Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). These…
APOGEE/Kepler Overlap Yields Orbital Solutions for a Variety of Eclipsing Binaries
Joni Marie Clark Cunningham, Meredith L. Rawls, Diana Windemuth +4
Spectroscopic Eclipsing Binaries (SEBs) are fundamental benchmarks in stellar astrophysics and today are observed in breathtaking detail by missions like TESS, Kepler, and APOGEE.…
An Overview of the LSST Image Processing Pipelines
James Bosch, Yusra AlSayyad, Robert Armstrong +31
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is an ambitious astronomical survey with a similarly ambitious Data Management component. Data Management for LSST includes processing on…
The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
Testing the asteroseismic scaling relations for Red Giants with Eclipsing Binaries Observed by Kepler
Patrick Gaulme, Jean McKeever, Jason Jackiewicz +7
Given the potential of ensemble asteroseismology for understanding fundamental properties of large numbers of stars, it is critical to determine the accuracy of the scaling relatio…
KIC 9246715: The Double Red Giant Eclipsing Binary With Odd Oscillations
Meredith L. Rawls, Patrick Gaulme, Jean McKeever +7
We combine Kepler photometry with ground-based spectra to present a comprehensive dynamical model of the double red giant eclipsing binary KIC 9246715. While the two stars are very…
Refined Neutron-Star Mass Determinations for Six Eclipsing X-Ray Pulsar Binaries
Meredith L. Rawls, Jerome A. Orosz, Jeffrey E. McClintock +3
We present an improved method for determining the mass of neutron stars in eclipsing X-ray pulsar binaries and apply the method to six systems, namely Vela X-1, 4U 1538-52, SMC X-1…
