The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Prompt Processing System
Krzysztof Findeisen, Kian-Tat Lim, Dan Speck +4
Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Prompt Processing system will automatically process 10 TB of raw images to produce up to 10 million transient alerts per night. We summarize how Prompt…
Faro: A framework for measuring the scientific performance of petascale Rubin Observatory data products
Leanne P. Guy, Keith Bechtol, Jeffrey L. Carlin +14
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will advance many areas of astronomy over the next decade with its unique wide-fast-deep multi-color imaging survey, the Legacy Survey of Space and Ti…
The First Extensive Spectroscopic Study of Young Stars in the North America and Pelican Nebulae Region
Min Fang, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Jinyoung Serena Kim +5
We present a spectroscopic survey of over 3400 potential members in the North America and Pelican nebulae (NAP) using several low-resolution ( 1300-2000) spectrographs: P…
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…
Gaia Data Release 2. Summary of the contents and survey properties
Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +4
We present the second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, consisting of astrometry, photometry, radial velocities, and information on astrophysical parameters and variability, for sources…
Gaia Data Release 2. Short-timescale variability processing and analysis
M. Roelens, L. Eyer, N. Mowlavi +13
The Gaia DR2 sample of short-timescale variable candidates results from the investigation of the first 22 months of Gaia photometry for a subsample of sources at the Gaia faint end…
Gaia Data Release 2: Observations of solar system objects
Gaia Collaboration, F. Spoto, P. Tanga +4
The Gaia spacecraft of the European Space Agency (ESA) has been securing observations of solar system objects (SSOs) since the beginning of its operations. Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2…
Gaia Data Release 2: Properties and validation of the radial velocities
D. Katz, P. Sartoretti, M. Cropper +51
For Gaia DR2 (GDR2), 280 million spectra, collected by the RVS instrument on-board Gaia, were processed and median radial velocities were derived for 9.8 million sources brighter t…
Gaia Data Release 2: Observational Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams
Gaia Collaboration, C. Babusiaux, F. van Leeuwen +450
We highlight the power of the Gaia DR2 in studying many fine structures of the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (HRD). Gaia allows us to present many different HRDs, depending in partic…
Gaia Data Release 2: Photometric content and validation
D. W. Evans, M. Riello, F. De Angeli +9
Aims. We describe the photometric content of the second data release of the Gaia project (Gaia DR2) and its validation along with the quality of the data. Methods. The validation w…
Gaia Data Release 1. Testing the parallaxes with local Cepheids and RR Lyrae stars
Gaia Collaboration, G. Clementini, L. Eyer +588
Parallaxes for 331 classical Cepheids, 31 Type II Cepheids and 364 RR Lyrae stars in common between Gaia and the Hipparcos and Tycho-2 catalogues are published in Gaia Data Release…
Gaia Data Release 1: Catalogue validation
F. Arenou, X. Luri, C. Babusiaux +42
Before the publication of the Gaia Catalogue, the contents of the first data release have undergone multiple dedicated validation tests. These tests aim at analysing in-depth the C…
A Simple Calculation in Service of Constraining the Rate of FU Orionis Outburst Events from Photometric Monitoring Surveys
Lynne A. Hillenbrand, Krzysztof P. Findeisen
An enigmatic and rare type of young stellar object is the FU Orionis class. The members are interpreted as "outbursting," that is, currently in a state of enhanced accretion by sev…
Simulated Performance of Timescale Metrics for Aperiodic Light Curves
Krzysztof Findeisen, Ann Marie Cody, Lynne Hillenbrand
Aperiodic variability is a characteristic feature of young stars, massive stars, and active galactic nuclei. With the recent proliferation of time domain surveys, it is increasingl…
