The On-Sky Performance of the LSST Camera CCD Array
Sean Patrick MacBride, Aaron Roodman, Stuart Marshall +89
The focal plane of the LSST Camera contains 189 individual science CCDs, arranged into 21 raft tower modules, along with 4 wavefront and 8 guider CCDs located in 4 additional corne…
Report on LEO satellite impacts on ground-based optical astronomy for the Rubin Observatory LSST
Phanindra Kandula, Lee Kelvin, Erfan Nourbakhsh +10
In August 2025 a workshop was convened to bring together experts to better understand steps that can be taken to mitigate the impact of satellite constellations on astronomical obs…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario Jurić +305
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
Characterization of Residual Charge Images in LSST Camera e2v CCDs
Daniel Polin, Adam Snyder, Craig Lage +1
LSST Camera CCDs produced by the manufacturer e2v exhibit strong and novel residual charge images when exposed to bright sources. These manifest in images following bright exposure…
New Limit on Dark Photon Kinetic Mixing in the 0.2-1.2 eV Mass Range From the Dark E-Field Radio Experiment
Joseph Levine, Benjamin Godfrey, J. Anthony Tyson +5
We report new limits on the kinetic mixing strength of the dark photon spanning the mass range 0.21 -- 1.24 eV corresponding to a frequency span of 50 -- 300 MHz. The Dark E-Fie…
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…
Search for Dark Photon Dark Matter: Dark E-Field Radio Pilot Experiment
Benjamin Godfrey, J. Anthony Tyson, Seth Hillbrand +12
We are building an experiment to search for dark matter in the form of dark photons in the nano- to milli-eV mass range. This experiment is the electromagnetic dual of magnetic det…
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…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
Probing the Fundamental Nature of Dark Matter with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
Alex Drlica-Wagner, Yao-Yuan Mao, Susmita Adhikari +97
Astrophysical and cosmological observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. Future observations with Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST…
