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…
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…
Resolved Stellar and Nebular Kinematics of a Star-forming Galaxy at
Sunny Rhoades, Tucker Jones, Keerthi Vasan G. C. +7
The kinematics of star-forming galaxy populations at high redshifts are integral to our understanding of disk properties, merger rates, and other defining characteristics. Nebular…
Spatially Resolved Galactic Winds at Cosmic Noon: Outflow Kinematics and Mass Loading in a Lensed Star-Forming Galaxy at
Keerthi Vasan G. C., Tucker Jones, Anowar J. Shajib +13
We study the spatially resolved outflow properties of CSWA13, an intermediate mass (), gravitationally lensed star-forming galaxy at . We use…
Detection of gas inflow during the onset of a starburst in a low-mass galaxy at z=2.45
Erin Coleman, Keerthi Vasan G. C., Yuguang Chen +9
The baryon cycle is crucial for understanding galaxy formation, as gas inflows and outflows vary throughout a galaxy's lifetime and affect its star formation rate. Despite the nece…
