Programme for LSST:UK sessions at NAM2024
Call for expressions of interest for Lasair User Group
We are in the process of establishing a Lasair Users Group, and would like to invite expressions of interest in being involved. If that might be you, please email Andy Lawrence (al@roe.ac.uk) and Roy Williams (roy@roe.ac.uk), stating your possible interest, and explaining very briefly why you are interested, and why you would be a good person to have involved. The deadline for expressions of interest is Monday 22nd July 2024.
Until now, we have tended to gather feedback and advice from our user community in a series of "focus group" style workshops, or via LSST:UK Team Meetings and so on. But as we work towards the transition from ZTF service to becoming a Rubin/LSST community broker, we would like to start something slightly more formal and regular - a Users Group of something like 6 scientists.
This group would meet twice a year - probably once in person and once online, with an agenda of items to discuss. We will also set up a dedicated Slack channel, for discussions to continue informally between meetings.
We welcome expressions of interest from all astronomers who expect to utilise Rubin transients. The current Lasair team is strong on extragalactic phenomena such as supernovae and tidal disruption events: therefore we especially welcome those interested in Galactic variable stars, microlensing, strong lensing, the local group, AGN, and citizen science.
The LSST:UK Consortium is committed to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion and specifically encourages applications from members of under-represented groups within the UK community who would increase the diversity of the LSST:UK science direction.
