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…
A First Measurement of Circumgalactic Dust Reddening from Only 4.6 deg of the Rubin Observatory's DP1
John Franklin Crenshaw, Matthew McQuinn, Jessica K. Werk
We present the first measurement of circumgalactic dust reddening from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, using only 4.6 deg of ComCam Data Preview 1 - roughly of the fina…
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…
Redshift Assessment Infrastructure Layers (RAIL): Rubin-era photometric redshift stress-testing and at-scale production
The RAIL Team, Jan Luca van den Busch, Eric Charles +30
Virtually all extragalactic use cases of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) require the use of galaxy redshift information, yet the vast majorit…
A Path to an All-Sky Survey with Roman
Jiwon Jesse Han, Anirudh Chiti, Kai-Feng Chen +93
A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…
Photometric Redshifts in JWST Deep Fields: A Pixel-Based Alternative with DeepDISC
Grant Merz, Ming-Yang Zhuang, Junyao Li +4
Photo-z algorithms that utilize SED template fitting have matured, and are widely adopted for use on high-redshift near-infrared data that provides a unique window into the early u…
