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…
Laboratory Measurements of Instrumental Signatures of the LSST Camera Focal Plane
Adam Snyder, Aurelien Barrau, Andrew Bradshaw +19
Electro-optical testing and characterization of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera focal plane, consisting of 205 charge-coupled devices (C…
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…
Sensor Distortion Effects in Photon Monte Carlo Simulations
J. R. Peterson, P. O'Connor, A. Nomerotski +7
We present a detailed method to simulating sensor distortions using a photon and electron Monte Carlo method. We use three dimensional electrostatic simulations to parameterize the…
Linear feature detection algorithm for astronomical surveys - II. Defocusing effects on meteor tracks
Dino Bektešević, Dejan Vinković, Andrew Rasmussen +1
Given the current limited knowledge of meteor plasma micro-physics and its interaction with the surrounding atmosphere and ionosphere, meteors are a highly interesting observationa…
High fidelity point-spread function retrieval in the presence of electrostatic, hysteretic pixel response
Andrew Rasmussen, Augustin Guyonnet, Craig Lage +11
We employ electrostatic conversion drift calculations to match CCD pixel signal covariances observed in flat field exposures acquired using candidate sensor devices for the LSST Ca…
