LightCurveLynx: Forward Modeling of Time-Domain Surveys with Application to ZTF SN Ia DR2
Mi Dai, Jeremy Kubica, Konstantin Malanchev +5
We present LightCurveLynx, a flexible and extensible software framework for end-to-end forward modeling time-domain light curves. Given the growing need for realistic simulations i…
Redshift Assessment Infrastructure Layers (RAIL): Rubin-era photometric redshift stress-testing and at-scale production
The RAIL Team, Jan Luca van den Busch, Eric Charles +30
Virtually all extragalactic use cases of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) require the use of galaxy redshift information, yet the vast majorit…
Diagnosing the Effects of Spectroscopic Training Set Imperfection on Photometric Redshift Performance
Alice Crafford, Alex I. Malz, Tianqing Zhang +11
Most LSST extragalactic science will rely on photometric redshifts (photo-) to extract distance information for the galaxies. However, an incomplete or non-representative traini…
Photometric Redshift Estimation for Rubin Observatory Data Preview 1 with Redshift Assessment Infrastructure Layers (RAIL)
T. Zhang, E. Charles, J. F. Crenshaw +87
We present the first systematic analysis of photometric redshifts (photo-z) estimated from the Rubin Observatory Data Preview 1 (DP1) data taken with the Legacy Survey of Space and…
Variability-finding in Rubin Data Preview 1 with LSDB
Konstantin Malanchev, Melissa DeLucchi, Neven Caplar +56
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory recently released Data Preview 1 (DP1) in advance of the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), which will enable boundless discoveries in t…
DeepDISC-photoz: Deep Learning-Based Photometric Redshift Estimation for Rubin LSST
Grant Merz, Xin Liu, Samuel Schmidt +11
Photometric redshifts will be a key data product for the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) as well as for future ground and space-based surveys. The need for…
