LSST.IORubin Observatory Technical Documents Online
For those of you who have not yet discovered it, I would like to point out that the Rubin Observatory maintains a comprehensive repository of technical documents and report at https://www.lsst.io/. Documentation is categorised into series, based on the particular function or aspect that it relates to, covering technology, engineering, and science. If you ever come across a reference to a Rubin Observatory report of the form DMTN-135 or LSE-61, then it will almost certainly be available from https://www.lsst.io/ (provided it is public). The site usually has some features some topical reports, plus some key document to be aware of include the Rubin Observatory Science Requirements (LPM-17) and the Data Products Definition document (LSE-163).
Recent LSST:UK outputs
LSST:UK has recently produced the following technical reports.
Title | Author | Description |
|---|---|---|
D2.2.1 Report on data transfer and ingest experiments for DESC DC2 | Mike Read | This document describes the tests, and their results, undertaken to gain experience with transferring significant volumes of data from a Rubin Observatory processing to the LSST:UK DAC. Such data transfer volumes will be required to acquire each new LSST data release. The tests involved transfers of the DESC DC2 (Dark Energy Science Collaboration Data Challenge 2 from IN2P3 (French National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics). |
Tim Naylor, Tom Wilson | This document describes models deep enough to enable modelling the effect of faint stars at LSST depths. It includes an additional journal-style report that provides further technical details. |
