The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) has begun its ten-year survey of the entire visible southern hemisphere. To ensure robust cosmological measurem…
Early Telescope Throughput Results from the Collimated Beam Projector at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Nathan Amouroux, Parker Fagrelius, Thibault Guillemin +6
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST requires precise photometric calibration to meet its science goals, particularly for cosmological analyses based on Type Ia supernovae. The Colli…

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…
StarDICE IV: correcting visible photometry from atmospheric gray extinction using thermal infrared observations
Kélian Sommer, Bertrand Plez, Johann Cohen-Tanugi +11
Ground-based surveys such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time require photometric calibration that is both long-term stable and spatially uniform at…
A transmission hologram for slitless spectrophotometry on a convergent telescope beam. Optimisation and characterization
Sylvie Dagoret-Campagne, Marc Moniez, Jeremy Neveu +8
This article details the optimisation and the characterisation of the hologram described in a companion paper published in 2021, which showed the superiority of a holographic optic…
Optically Overluminous Tidal Disruption Events: Outflow Properties and Implications for Extremely Relativistic Disruptions
Yuhan Yao, Kate D. Alexander, Wenbin Lu +22
Recent studies suggest that tidal disruption events (TDEs) with off-axis jets may manifest as optically overluminous events. To search for jet signatures at late times, we conducte…
