The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will start by the end of 2025 and operate for ten years, offering billions of observations of the southern nigh…
Sorcha: A Solar System Survey Simulator for the Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Stephanie R. Merritt, Grigori Fedorets, Megan E. Schwamb +20
The upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is expected to revolutionize solar system astronomy. Unprecedented in scale, this ten-year wide…
NEOviz: Uncertainty-Driven Visual Analysis of Asteroid Trajectories
Fangfei Lan, Malin Ejdbo, Joachim Moeyens +3
We introduce NEOviz, an interactive visualization system designed to assist planetary defense experts in the visual analysis of the movements of near-Earth objects in the Solar Sys…
Expected Impact of Rubin Observatory LSST on NEO Follow-up
Tom Wagg, Mario Juric, Peter Yoachim +6
We simulate and analyse the contribution of the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to the rate of discovery of Near Earth Object (NEO) candidates, their submi…
From Data to Software to Science with the Rubin Observatory LSST
Katelyn Breivik, Andrew J. Connolly, K. E. Saavik Ford +97
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) dataset will dramatically alter our understanding of the Universe, from the origins of the Solar System to the…
iCompare: A Package for Automated Comparison of Solar System Integrators
Maria Chernyavskaya, Mario Juric, Joachim Moeyens +2
We present a tool for the comparison and validation of the integration packages suitable for Solar System dynamics. iCompare, written in Python, compares the ephemeris prediction a…
Sifting Through the Static: Moving Object Detection in Difference Images
Hayden Smotherman, Andrew J. Connolly, J. Bryce Kalmbach +6
Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) provide a window into the history of the Solar System, but they can be challenging to observe due to their distance from the Sun and relatively low b…
THOR: An Algorithm for Cadence-Independent Asteroid Discovery
Joachim Moeyens, Mario Juric, Jes Ford +7
We present "Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery" (THOR), an algorithm for linking of observations of Solar System objects across multiple epochs that does not require intra-n…
