Rubin LSST DP2 unveils almost-dark galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
Minh Ngoc Le, Johan H. Knapen, Željko Ivezić +27
Galaxies with the faintest surface brightness are currently known only in the Local Group. Similar objects should exist beyond our vicinity and are crucial for understanding galaxy…
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…
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Prompt Processing System
Krzysztof Findeisen, Kian-Tat Lim, Dan Speck +4
Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Prompt Processing system will automatically process 10 TB of raw images to produce up to 10 million transient alerts per night. We summarize how Prompt…
Data Movement Model for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Fabio Hernandez, Mark G. Beckett, Andrew Hanushevsky +6
The sky images captured nightly by the camera on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's telescope will be processed across facilities on three continents. Data acquisition will occur at t…
NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory Observations of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1)
Colin Orion Chandler, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Mario Jurić +305
We report on the observation and measurement of astrometry, photometry, morphology, and activityof the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, also designated C/2025 N1 (ATLAS) with the NSF-…
Software Architecture and System Design of Rubin Observatory
William O'Mullane, Frossie Economou, Kian-Tat Lim +8
Starting from a description of the Rubin Observatory Data Management System Architecture, and drawing on our experience with and involvement in a range of other projects including…
Rubin Science Platform on Google: the story so far
William O'Mullane, Frossie Economou, Flora Huang +16
We describe Rubin Observatory's experience with offering a data access facility (and associated services including our Science Platform) deployed on Google Cloud infrastructure as…
A Gateway to Astronomical Image Processing: Vera C. RubinObservatory LSST Science Pipelines on AWS
Dino Bektesevic, Hsin-Fang Chiang, Kian-Tat Lim +6
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time, operated by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, is a 10-year astronomical survey due to start operations in 2022 that will image half the sky every…
Abstracting the storage and retrieval of image data at the LSST
Tim Jenness, James F. Bosch, Pim Schellart +3
Writing generic data processing pipelines requires that the algorithmic code does not ever have to know about data formats of files, or the locations of those files. At LSST we hav…
The Hyper Suprime-Cam Software Pipeline
James Bosch, Robert Armstrong, Steven Bickerton +32
In this paper, we describe the optical imaging data processing pipeline developed for the Subaru Telescope's Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) instrument. The HSC Pipeline builds on the prot…
The LSST Data Management System
Mario Jurić, Jeffrey Kantor, K-T Lim +62
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is a large-aperture, wide-field, ground-based survey system that will image the sky in six optical bands from 320 to 1050 nm, uniformly c…
Parametrization and Classification of 20 Billion LSST Objects: Lessons from SDSS
Z. Ivezic, T. Axelrod, A. C. Becker
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be a large, wide-field ground-based system designed to obtain, starting in 2015, multiple images of the sky that is visible from Cer…
LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310
(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
