An Evenly-Spaced LSST Cadence for Rapidly Variable Stars
Eric D. Feigelson, Federica B. Bianco, Rosaria Bonito
Stars exhibit a bewildering variety of rapidly variable behaviors ranging from explosive magnetic flares to stochastically changing accretion to periodic pulsations or rotation. Th…
Deep Drilling in the Time Domain with DECam: Survey Characterization
Melissa L. Graham, Robert A. Knop, Thomas Kennedy +41
This paper presents a new optical imaging survey of four deep drilling fields (DDFs), two Galactic and two extragalactic, with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) on the 4 meter Blanco…
Rubin Observatory LSST Transients and Variable Stars Roadmap
Kelly M. Hambleton, Federica B. Bianco, Rachel Street +79
The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time holds the potential to revolutionize time domain astrophysics, reaching completely unexplored areas of the Universe and mapping va…
Toward automated detection of light echoes in synoptic surveys: considerations on the application of the Deep Convolutional Neural Networks
Xiaolong Li, Federica B. Bianco, Gregory Dobler +7
Light Echoes (LEs) are the reflections of astrophysical transients off of interstellar dust. They are fascinating astronomical phenomena that enable studies of the scattering dust…
From Data to Software to Science with the Rubin Observatory LSST
Katelyn Breivik, Andrew J. Connolly, K. E. Saavik Ford +97
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) dataset will dramatically alter our understanding of the Universe, from the origins of the Solar System to the…
Target of Opportunity Observations of Gravitational Wave Events with Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, Om Sharan Salafia +52
The discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart to the binary neutron star merger GW170817 has opened the era of gravitational-wave multi-messenger astronomy. Rapid identification…
