LSST Open House at AAS 235

Tuesday, December 3, 2019

Construction of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is accelerating, as the Project has now entered the integration phase and major assemblies are being delivered to Cerro Pachón. This Open House will focus on topics in which community input is needed, such as: planning LSST’s observing strategy, preparing for the distribution of alerts to community brokers, and developing educational and public outreach activities. We will highlight LSST's construction progress, and ongoing initiatives by the LSST Science Collaborations to prepare for delivering science with LSST. With first light now on the horizon the Operations team will update the community on preparations for Survey Operations including serving data during commissioning and the status of international partnerships.

Check back soon for detailed agenda!

Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Agreement No. 1258333, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).  The DOE-funded effort to build the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
