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…
Supernovae Unite: Combining Pantheon+ and DES-SN5YR
Ryan Camilleri, Jaemyoung Lee, Tamara Davis +21
We present the Hubble diagram and cosmological constraints resulting from the combination of the Pantheon+ and DES-SN5YR supernova (SN) samples, which we refer to as Unite. Unite u…
The Rubin Observatory Target-of-Opportunity System in the First Year of Operations
Sean Patrick MacBride, R. Lynne Jones, Peter Yoachim +41
The NSF/DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a discovery machine, with unprecedented survey speed, which can be used to identify exotic astrophysical transients. In its prime mission,…
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…
Test Management and Coordination During the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Commissioning and Early Operations Using Zephyr Scale
Bruno Quint, Tiago Ribeiro, Erik Dennihy +3
The commissioning of the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory required coordinating the planning, design, and execution of hundreds of integration and on-sky tests involving different…
Modeling of the diffuse background produced by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory M2 baffle scattered light
Alessio Taranto, Gabriele Rodeghiero, Luca Rosignoli +58
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with its unprecedented field of view and fast focal ratio, will survey the entire sky every 3.5 nights. This unique capacity requires dealing with of…
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-…
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…
Rubin-Euclid Derived Data Products: Initial Recommendations
Leanne P. Guy, Jean-Charles Cuillandre, Etienne Bachelet +117
This report is the result of a joint discussion between the Rubin and Euclid scientific communities. The work presented in this report was focused on designing and recommending an…
Dark Energy Survey Year 3 Results: Point-Spread Function Modeling
M. Jarvis, G. M. Bernstein, A. Amon +79
We introduce a new software package for modeling the point-spread function (PSF) of astronomical images, called Piff (PSFs In the Full FOV), which we apply to the first three years…
New Science, New Media: An Assessment of the Online Education and Public Outreach Initiatives of The Dark Energy Survey
R. C. Wolf, A. K. Romer, B. Nord +25
As large-scale international collaborations become the standard for astronomy research, a wealth of opportunities have emerged to create innovative education and public outreach (E…
Resolving the Extragalactic -ray Background above 50 GeV with Fermi-LAT
LAT Collaboration
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) Collaboration has recently released a catalog of 360 sources detected above 50 GeV (2FHL). This catalog was obtained using 80 months of data re…
Design Concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The CTA Consortium
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray…
