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…
The LSST DESC DC2 Simulated Sky Survey
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso +77
We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and…
Photometric Redshifts with the LSST II: The Impact of Near-Infrared and Near-Ultraviolet Photometry
Melissa L. Graham, Andrew J. Connolly, Winnie Wang +10
Accurate photometric redshift (photo-) estimates are essential to the cosmological science goals of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). In this…
The LSST DESC Data Challenge 1: Generation and Analysis of Synthetic Images for Next Generation Surveys
F. Javier Sánchez, Chris W. Walter, Humna Awan +23
Data Challenge 1 (DC1) is the first synthetic dataset produced by the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC). DC1 is desi…
Enabling catalog simulations of transient and variable sources based on LSST cadence strategies
Rahul Biswas, Scott F. Daniel, R. Hložek +2
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) project will conduct a ten year multi-band survey starting in 2022. Observing strategies for this survey are being actively investigated,…
Robust period estimation using mutual information for multi-band light curves in the synoptic survey era
Pablo Huijse, Pablo A. Estevez, Francisco Forster +5
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will produce an unprecedented amount of light curves using six optical bands. Robust and efficient methods that can aggregate data from m…
Accelerated Parameter Estimation with DALE
Scott F. Daniel, Eric V. Linder
We consider methods for improving the estimation of constraints on a high-dimensional parameter space with a computationally expensive likelihood function. In such cases Markov cha…
The LSST Data Management System
Mario Jurić, Jeffrey Kantor, K-T Lim +62
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a large-aperture, wide-field, ground-based survey system that will image the sky in six optical bands from 320 to 1050 nm, uniformly c…
