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…
Development of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation Virtual Assistant for Enhanced Information Discovery at Rubin Observatory
Leanne P. Guy, Connor Yablonski, Aaron M. Meisner +5
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory will generate petabytes of data through the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) over the next decade, enabling discoveries across a broad r…
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…
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…
Laser-based metrology systems vs wavefront sensing techniques: a comparative overview between the Large Binocular Telescope and the Vera C. Rubin Observatory for the telescope alignment and collimation tracking
Luca Rosignoli, Gabriele Rodeghiero, Sandrine J. Thomas +26
This work presents a comparative overview of the collimation and alignment strategies employed by two leading 8m-class facilities: the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) and the Vera…
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…
Towards millimagnitude Photometry at the Vera Rubin Observatory: Aerosol Monitoring with Quadband Dispersed Imaging
Eske M. Pedersen, Christopher W. Stubbs, Merlin Fisher-Levine +3
As the frontier of precision astronomical photometry continues to advance, correcting for time-variable atmospheric transmission becomes increasingly important. We describe an obse…
Instrument Signature Removal and Calibration Products for the Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Andrés A. Plazas Malagón, Chris Waters, Alex Broughton +4
The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will conduct an unprecedented optical survey of the southern sky, imaging the entire available sky every few nights for 10…
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…
A collimated beam projector for precise telescope calibration
Michael Coughlin, T. M. C. Abbott, Kairn Brannon +7
The precise determination of the instrumental response function versus wavelength is a central ingredient in contemporary photometric calibration strategies. This typically entails…
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…
LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310
(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
