Notes and Questions
The Lasair community broker for LSST aims to provide scientists a platform to filter the LSST alert stream in near real time, by creating and storing SQL-based filters. The alerts are run against the stored filters, and users receive the results in near real time. There are two verisons:, which is being set up at the time of writing (June 2024). In the past, community input to Lasair has been through a series of ad-hoc focus groups, but as we move rapidly towards beginning our role as a Community Broker for the Vera Rubin Observatory, we wish to establish a Users Group which provides feedback and advice via regular structured meetings and a dedicated SLACK discussion channel.
