Rubin ToO 2024: Envisioning the Vera C. Rubin Observatory LSST Target of Opportunity program
Igor Andreoni, Raffaella Margutti, John Banovetz +86
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at Vera C. Rubin Observatory is planned to begin in the Fall of 2025. The LSST survey cadence has been designed via a community-driven pr…
Astreaks: Astrometry of NEOs with trailed background stars
Kritti Sharma, Harsh Kumar, Harsh Choudhary +7
The detection and accurate astrometry of fast-moving near-Earth objects (NEOs) has been a challenge for the follow-up community. Their fast apparent motion results in streaks in si…
Science Cases for the Keck Wide-Field Imager
J. Cooke, C. Angus, K. Auchettl +22
The Keck Wide-Field Imager (KWFI) is a proposed 1-degree diameter field of view UV-sensitive optical camera for Keck prime focus. KWFI will be the most powerful optical wide-field…
The Scientific Impact of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) for Solar System Science
Rubin Observatory LSST Solar System Science Collaboration, R. Lynne Jones, Michelle T. Bannister +18
Vera C. Rubin Observatory will be a key facility for small body science in planetary astronomy over the next decade. It will carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), o…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: Science Objectives
Matthew J. Graham, S. R. Kulkarni, Eric C. Bellm +114
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), a public-private enterprise, is a new time domain survey employing a dedicated camera on the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope with a 47 deg$^2…
The Zwicky Transient Facility: System Overview, Performance, and First Results
Eric C. Bellm, Shrinivas R. Kulkarni, Matthew J. Graham +112
The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) is a new optical time-domain survey that uses the Palomar 48-inch Schmidt telescope. A custom-built wide-field camera provides a 47 deg fiel…
Fast algorithms for slow moving asteroids: constraints on the distribution of Kuiper Belt Objects
Peter J. Whidden, J. Bryce Kalmbach, Andrew J. Connolly +11
We introduce a new computational technique for searching for faint moving sources in astronomical images. Starting from a maximum likelihood estimate for the probability of the det…
The Pan-STARRS Moving Object Processing System
Larry Denneau, Robert Jedicke, Tommy Grav +41
We describe the Pan-STARRS Moving Object Processing System (MOPS), a modern software package that produces automatic asteroid discoveries and identifications from catalogs of trans…
