What is this meeting about ?
We have built and releases released a new version of Lasair, with a new user interface and documentation that continues to work with the ZTF data stream. The alerts from LSST will be quite different in volume, depth, number of filters and alert packet scientific content (e.g forced flux values). In the second half of 2024, we expect to receive and process the first real data alerts from Rubin.
...
We are running a meeting to engage the astronomy community, to demonstrate the capabilities of Lasair, and to discover what scientists want from the alert stream. The meeting will include:
Introduction to Lasair and tutorial, including: reducing millions of alerts to the ones you want; intelligent crossmatch with the big catalogues; making a watchlist of your favourite objects; automating response to interesting alerts; sharing filters, watchlists, and classifiers; annotating the Lasair stream.
Contribute and collaborate by presenting your ideas: present share a scientific case study of mining the LSST alert stream ; organise and/or run a discussion section on how your science can benefit from the alert stream.
The LSST:UK project is not only about rapid alerts but all aspects of LSST science. Including mining Mining our archive of alerts and howe ; how we link to the Science Platform; how can the rapid alerts and data releases work together effectively?
