Rubin alerts and broker workshop – January 2025

To coincide with a visit by Eric Bellm from the Rubin Data Management team, the Lasair team is hosting a workshop in January to discuss the latest news on LSST alerts and broker provision.

The workshop will run from Tuesday 14 January (10:00, with coffee and chat from 09:30) until Lunchtime on Wednesday 15th. Lunch is provided both days and there is no registration fee.

Eric leads the team at the University of Washington who are building the real-time data processing pipelines for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. He is the Alert Production Science lead and is also the Survey Scientist for the Zwicky Transient Facility. With ComCam on the Simonyi telescope now and observing the sky, and LSSTCam to come in early 2025, this LSST:UK community workshop will discuss the latest updates from the Rubin Data Management team. This will inform our final development stage for the Lasair broker as we approach the start of LSST alerts in 2025.

We encourage in-person attendance at the event to discuss what we can jointly achieve between the Rubin Alert Production team and the

brokers. We will make provision for hybrid attendance. Personnel from other brokers are very welcome to attend, although our timing will be most suited to European time zones (two mornings GMT).

Details, registration and programme are available on the LSST:UK wiki
