Tails and Trails: Comets and NEOs Survive Co-addition in Rubin Early Data Preview 2

Colin Orion Chandler, Joseph Murtagh, Ian Chow +11

We identify effectively single-visit imaging hidden within the deep co-added images of the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Early Data Preview 2 (EDP2). These shallow regions cont…
