The On-Sky Performance of the LSST Camera CCD Array
Sean Patrick MacBride, Aaron Roodman, Stuart Marshall +89
The focal plane of the LSST Camera contains 189 individual science CCDs, arranged into 21 raft tower modules, along with 4 wavefront and 8 guider CCDs located in 4 additional corne…
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-…
Rubin-Euclid Derived Data Products: Initial Recommendations
Leanne P. Guy, Jean-Charles Cuillandre, Etienne Bachelet +117
This report is the result of a joint discussion between the Rubin and Euclid scientific communities. The work presented in this report was focused on designing and recommending an…
The LSST DESC DC2 Simulated Sky Survey
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Bela Abolfathi, David Alonso +77
We describe the simulated sky survey underlying the second data challenge (DC2) carried out in preparation for analysis of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and…
Scientific Synergy Between LSST and Euclid
Jason Rhodes, Robert C. Nichol, Éric Aubourg +34
Euclid and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) are poised to dramatically change the astronomy landscape early in the next decade. The combination of high cadence, deep, wid…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog: twelfth data release
Isabelle Pâris, Patrick Petitjean, Nicholas P. Ross +43
We present the Data Release 12 Quasar catalog (DR12Q) from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the SDSS-III. This catalog includes all SDSS-III/BOSS objects that…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar catalog: tenth data release
Isabelle Pâris, Patrick Petitjean, Éric Aubourg +47
We present the Data Release 10 Quasar (DR10Q) catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. The catalog includes all BOSS obj…
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Ly-α forest of BOSS quasars
Nicolás G. Busca, Timothée Delubac, James Rich +59
We report a detection of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the three-dimensional correlation function of the transmitted flux fraction in the \Lya forest of high-red…
The Lyman-alpha forest in three dimensions: measurements of large scale flux correlations from BOSS 1st-year data
Anže Slosar, Andreu Font-Ribera, Matthew M. Pieri +34
Using a sample of approximately 14,000 z>2.1 quasars observed in the first year of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), we measure the three-dimensional correlation…
The Ages of Type Ia Supernova Progenitors
Timothy D. Brandt, Rita Tojeiro, Éric Aubourg +3
Using light curves and host galaxy spectra of 101 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) with redshift from the SDSS Supernova Survey (SDSS-SN), we derive the SN Ia rate as a…
