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…
The Blending ToolKit: A simulation framework for evaluation of galaxy detection and deblending
Ismael Mendoza, Andrii Torchylo, Thomas Sainrat +18
We present an open source Python library for simulating overlapping (i.e., blended) images of galaxies and performing self-consistent comparisons of detection and deblending algori…
Generation of realistic input parameters for simulating atmospheric point-spread functions at astronomical observatories
Claire-Alice Hébert, Joshua E. Meyers, My H. Do +2
High-fidelity simulated astronomical images are an important tool in developing and measuring the performance of image-processing algorithms, particularly for high precision measur…
Better support for collaborations preparing for large-scale projects: the case study of the LSST Science Collaborations Astro2020 APC White Paper
Federica B. Bianco, Manda Banerji, John Bochanski +17
Through the lens of the LSST Science Collaborations' experience, this paper advocates for new and improved ways to fund large, complex collaborations at the interface of data scien…
Characterization of atmospheric turbulence for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
Claire-Alice Hébert, Bruce Macintosh, Patricia R. Burchat
One of the scientific goals of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is to measure the evolution of dark energy by measuring subtle distortions of galaxy shapes due to weak gr…
Chromatic CCD effects on weak lensing measurements for LSST
Joshua E. Meyers, Patricia R. Burchat
Wavelength-dependent point spread functions (PSFs) violate an implicit assumption in current galaxy shape measurement algorithms that deconvolve the PSF measured from stars (which…
