Prompt Detection of Fast Optical Bursts with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Guillem Megias Homar, Joshua E. Meyers, Steven M. Kahn
The transient optical sky has remained largely unexplored on very short timescales. While there have been some experiments searching for optical transients from minutes to years, n…
Snowmass2021 Cosmic Frontier White Paper: Rubin Observatory after LSST
Bob Blum, Seth W. Digel, Alex Drlica-Wagner +10
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will begin the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) in 2024, spanning an area of 18,000 square degrees in six bands, with more than 800 observations…
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…
Future Uses of the LSST Facility: Input from the LSST Project Science Team
S. Kahn, Robert Blum, Chuck Claver +11
In this white paper, we discuss future uses of the LSST facility after the planned 10-year survey is complete. We expect the LSST survey to profoundly affect the scientific landsca…
Unveiling the Rich and Diverse Universe of Subsecond Astrophysics through LSST Star Trails
David Thomas, Steven M. Kahn, Federica B. Bianco +9
We present a unique method that allows the LSST to scan the sky for stellar variability on short timescales. The operational component of the strategy requires LSST to take star tr…
The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) Science Requirements Document
The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Rachel Mandelbaum, Tim Eifler +32
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) will use five cosmological probes: galaxy clusters, large scale structure, supernovae, strong le…
