Optimization of the Observing Cadence for the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time: a pioneering process of community-focused experimental design
Federica B. Bianco, Željko Ivezić, R. Lynne Jones +43
Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a ground-based astronomical facility under construction, a joint project of the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, designed…
THOR: An Algorithm for Cadence-Independent Asteroid Discovery
Joachim Moeyens, Mario Juric, Jes Ford +7
We present "Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery" (THOR), an algorithm for linking of observations of Solar System objects across multiple epochs that does not require intra-n…
The Scientific Impact of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) for Solar System Science
Rubin Observatory LSST Solar System Science Collaboration, R. Lynne Jones, Michelle T. Bannister +18
Vera C. Rubin Observatory will be a key facility for small body science in planetary astronomy over the next decade. It will carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), o…
Optimising LSST Observing Strategy for Weak Lensing Systematics
Husni Almoubayyed, Rachel Mandelbaum, Humna Awan +6
The LSST survey will provide unprecedented statistical power for measurements of dark energy. Consequently, controlling systematic uncertainties is becoming more important than eve…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
Fast algorithms for slow moving asteroids: constraints on the distribution of Kuiper Belt Objects
Peter J. Whidden, J. Bryce Kalmbach, Andrew J. Connolly +11
We introduce a new computational technique for searching for faint moving sources in astronomical images. Starting from a maximum likelihood estimate for the probability of the det…
