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…
Future Uses of the LSST Facility: Input from the LSST Project Science Team
S. Kahn, Robert Blum, Chuck Claver +11
In this white paper, we discuss future uses of the LSST facility after the planned 10-year survey is complete. We expect the LSST survey to profoundly affect the scientific landsca…
A collimated beam projector for precise telescope calibration
Michael Coughlin, T. M. C. Abbott, Kairn Brannon +7
The precise determination of the instrumental response function versus wavelength is a central ingredient in contemporary photometric calibration strategies. This typically entails…
A Study of the Point Spread Function in SDSS Images
Bo Xin, Željko Ivezić, Robert H. Lupton +5
We use SDSS imaging data in passbands to study the shape of the point spread function (PSF) profile and the variation of its width with wavelength and time. We find that th…
Science-Driven Optimization of the LSST Observing Strategy
LSST Science Collaboration, Phil Marshall, Timo Anguita +102
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope is designed to provide an unprecedented optical imaging dataset that will support investigations of our Solar System, Galaxy and Universe, acros…
A Daytime Measurement of the Lunar Contribution to the Night Sky Brightness in LSST's ugrizy Bands-- Initial Results
Michael Coughlin, Christopher Stubbs, Chuck Claver
We report measurements from which we determine the spatial structure of the lunar contribution to night sky brightness, taken at the LSST site on Cerro Pachon in Chile. We use an a…
