Early Telescope Throughput Results from the Collimated Beam Projector at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Nathan Amouroux, Parker Fagrelius, Thibault Guillemin +6
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST requires precise photometric calibration to meet its science goals, particularly for cosmological analyses based on Type Ia supernovae. The Colli…
In Situ Measurements of the Reflectances of the LSSTCam Optics and Assessing the Impact of Optical Ghosts
Aashay Pai, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Lee S. Kelvin +4
Optical ghosts are image artifacts caused by successive reflections of light between optical surfaces such as lenses, filters, and detectors. These artifacts are unavoidable due to…
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…
Data management and execution systems for the Rubin Observatory Science Pipelines
Nate B. Lust, Tim Jenness, James F. Bosch +7
We present the Rubin Observatory system for data storage/retrieval and pipelined code execution. The layer for data storage and retrieval is named the Butler. It consists of a rela…
Software Architecture and System Design of Rubin Observatory
William O'Mullane, Frossie Economou, Kian-Tat Lim +8
Starting from a description of the Rubin Observatory Data Management System Architecture, and drawing on our experience with and involvement in a range of other projects including…
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Butler and Pipeline Execution System
Tim Jenness, James F. Bosch, Nate B. Lust +6
The Rubin Observatory's Data Butler is designed to allow data file location and file formats to be abstracted away from the people writing the science pipeline algorithms. The Butl…
Rubin Science Platform on Google: the story so far
William O'Mullane, Frossie Economou, Flora Huang +16
We describe Rubin Observatory's experience with offering a data access facility (and associated services including our Science Platform) deployed on Google Cloud infrastructure as…
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…
