Opportunities in AI/ML for the Rubin LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Eric Aubourg, Camille Avestruz +63
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will produce unprecedented volumes of heterogeneous astronomical data (images, catalogs, and alerts) that cha…
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…
Photometric Redshifts from SDSS Images with an Interpretable Deep Capsule Network
Biprateep Dey, Brett H. Andrews, Jeffrey A. Newman +3
Studies of cosmology, galaxy evolution, and astronomical transients with current and next-generation wide-field imaging surveys like the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space an…
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…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer, 2019 edition
The MSE Science Team, Carine Babusiaux, Maria Bergemann +258
(Abridged) The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) is an end-to-end science platform for the design, execution and scientific exploitation of spectroscopic surveys. It will unvei…
DESCQA: An Automated Validation Framework for Synthetic Sky Catalogs
Yao-Yuan Mao, Eve Kovacs, Katrin Heitmann +24
The use of high-quality simulated sky catalogs is essential for the success of cosmological surveys. The catalogs have diverse applications, such as investigating signatures of fun…
Forward Modeling of Large-Scale Structure: An open-source approach with Halotools
Andrew Hearin, Duncan Campbell, Erik Tollerud +11
We present the first stable release of Halotools (v0.2), a community-driven Python package designed to build and test models of the galaxy-halo connection. Halotools provides a mod…
Sussing Merger Trees: A proposed Merger Tree data format
Peter A. Thomas, Julian Onions, Dylan Tweed +13
We propose a common terminology for use in describing both temporal merger trees and spatial structure trees for dark-matter halos. We specify a unified data format in HDF5 and pro…
