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…
An Efficient Shift-and-Stack Algorithm Applied to Detection Catalogs
Steven Stetzler, Mario Jurić, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +22
The boundary of solar system object discovery lies in detecting its faintest members. However, their discovery in detection catalogs from imaging surveys is fundamentally limited b…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario Jurić +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-…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Near-Earth Objects, Main Belt Asteroids, Jupiter Trojans, and Trans-Neptunian Objects
Jacob A. Kurlander, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +18
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a new 8m-class survey facility presently being commissioned in Chile, expected to begin the 10yr-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Discovery Rates and Characterizations of Centaurs
Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Stephanie R. Merritt +16
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start by the end of 2025 and operate for ten years, offering billions of observations of the southern nigh…
Sorcha: A Solar System Survey Simulator for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Stephanie R. Merritt, Grigori Fedorets, Megan E. Schwamb +20
The upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to revolutionize solar system astronomy. Unprecedented in scale, this ten-year wide…
A Pan-STARRS Search for Distant Planets: Part 1
Matthew J. Holman, Kevin J. Napier, Matthew J. Payne +1
We present a search for distant planets in Pan-STARRS1. We calibrated our search by injecting an isotropic control population of synthetic detections into Pan-STARRS1 source catalo…
Sorcha: Optimized Solar System Ephemeris Generation
Matthew J. Holman, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +14
Sorcha is a solar system survey simulator built for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) and future large-scale wide-field surveys. Over the ten-y…
LiDO: Exploring the Stable Plutino Parameter Space
Samantha M. Lawler, Mark Comte, Rosemary E. Pike +7
We present a publicly available, high-resolution, filled-parameter-space synthetic distribution of the Plutinos, trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) librating in the 3:2 mean-motion res…
