The Rubin Observatory Target-of-Opportunity System in the First Year of Operations
Sean Patrick MacBride, R. Lynne Jones, Peter Yoachim +41
The NSF/DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a discovery machine, with unprecedented survey speed, which can be used to identify exotic astrophysical transients. In its prime mission,…
Spectroscopic Monitoring of Metal Lines in Polluted White Dwarfs
Laura K. Rogers, Michael M. Shara, Amy Bonsor +12
The disruption and accretion of planetary material onto white dwarfs is expected to be inherently dynamic and stochastic, potentially driving variability in the accretion rate and…
Rubin M1M3 Dynamic performance : stability and actuation during operations
HyeYun Park, Petr Kubánek, Kshitija Kelkar +20
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is preparing to commence the Legacy Survey of Space and Time with the fully integrated Simonyi Survey Telescope. To verify that the primary/tertiary (…
An overview of stray light findings and interpretation during on-sky commissioning of LSSTCam
Gabriele Rodeghiero, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Alessio Taranto +78
Wide-field telescopes are intrinsically difficult to shield from unwanted stray and scattered light, while the search to identify sources of contaminating light is frequently a cha…
Test Management and Coordination During the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Commissioning and Early Operations Using Zephyr Scale
Bruno Quint, Tiago Ribeiro, Erik Dennihy +3
The commissioning of the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory required coordinating the planning, design, and execution of hundreds of integration and on-sky tests involving different…
Modeling of the diffuse background produced by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory M2 baffle scattered light
Alessio Taranto, Gabriele Rodeghiero, Luca Rosignoli +58
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, with its unprecedented field of view and fast focal ratio, will survey the entire sky every 3.5 nights. This unique capacity requires dealing with of…
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…
photoD with Rubin's Data Preview 1: first stellar photometric distances and deficit of faint blue stars. Stellar distances with Rubin's DP1
L. Palaversa, E. Donev, Ž. Ivezić +96
Aims: We investigate the utility of Rubin's Data Preview 1 for estimating stellar number density profile in the Milky Way halo. Methods: Stellar broad-band near-UV to near-IR $ugri…
Towards millimagnitude Photometry at the Vera Rubin Observatory: Aerosol Monitoring with Quadband Dispersed Imaging
Eske M. Pedersen, Christopher W. Stubbs, Merlin Fisher-Levine +3
As the frontier of precision astronomical photometry continues to advance, correcting for time-variable atmospheric transmission becomes increasingly important. We describe an obse…
