Rotational Light-curve Recovery and Predictions of the LSST Yield of Hildas
Alexander J. Fleming, Jacob A. Kurlander, Dmitrii E. Vavilov +4
The Hilda population occupies the stable 3:2 mean-motion resonance of Jupiter and provides a window into solar system evolution, including collisional processes. The National Scien…

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…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Neptune Trojans
Joseph Murtagh, Megan E. Schwamb, Pedro H. Bernardinelli +15
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), beginning full operations in late 2025, will dramatically transform solar system science by vastly e…
Using LSDB to enable large-scale catalog distribution, cross-matching, and analytics
Neven Caplar, Wilson Beebe, Doug Branton +9
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will generate an unprecedented volume of data, including approximately 60 petabytes of raw data and around 30 trillion observed sources, posing a sign…
Predictions of the LSST Solar System Yield: Near-Earth Objects, Main Belt Asteroids, Jupiter Trojans, and Trans-Neptunian Objects
Jacob A. Kurlander, Pedro H. Bernardinelli, Megan E. Schwamb +18
The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a new 8m-class survey facility presently being commissioned in Chile, expected to begin the 10yr-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST…
Sorcha: A Solar System Survey Simulator for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Stephanie R. Merritt, Grigori Fedorets, Megan E. Schwamb +20
The upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to revolutionize solar system astronomy. Unprecedented in scale, this ten-year wide…
