Photometry, Centroid and Point-Spread Function Measurements in the LSST Camera Focal Plane Using Artificial Stars

Johnny H. Esteves, Yousuke Utsumi, Adam Snyder +12

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's LSST Camera (LSSTCam) pixel response has been characterized using laboratory measurements with a grid of artificial stars. We quantify the contribut…

Effect of Measurement Errors on Predicted Cosmological Constraints from Shear Peak Statistics with LSST

D. Bard, J. M. Kratochvil, C. Chang +26

The statistics of peak counts in reconstructed shear maps contain information beyond the power spectrum, and can improve cosmological constraints from measurements of the power spe…

Atmospheric PSF Interpolation for Weak Lensing in Short Exposure Imaging Data

C. Chang, P. J. Marshall, J. G. Jernigan +25

A main science goal for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is to measure the cosmic shear signal from weak lensing to extreme accuracy. One difficulty, however, is that wit…

LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310

(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
