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,…
Rotational Light-curve Recovery and Predictions of the LSST Yield of Hildas
Alexander J. Fleming, Jacob A. Kurlander, Dmitrii E. Vavilov +4
The Hilda population occupies the stable 3:2 mean-motion resonance of Jupiter and provides a window into solar system evolution, including collisional processes. The National Scien…
You Only Stack Once (YOSO): A Motion-Filtered, Deep-Learning Framework for Detecting Faint Moving Sources
Nitya Pandey, César Fuentes, Pedro Bernardinelli +15
We present You Only Stack Once (YOSO), an automated pipeline designed to detect faint, slow-moving Solar System objects in wide-field astronomical surveys. The pipeline integrates…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario JuriÄ +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-…
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…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Neptune Trojans
Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +15
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), beginning full operations in late 2025, will dramatically transform solar system science by vastly e…
