Eric Bellm from the Rubin Data Management team will visit Oxford from Monday January 13th to Thursday January 16th. The Lasair Team will host a workshop around Eric’s visit to discuss the latest news on LSST alerts and broker provision.
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 attendence 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 attendence. Personnel from other brokers are very welcome to attend, although our timing will be most suited to European time zones (two mornings GMT).

Discussion items and questions
To make best use of our discussion time, we encourage you to ask questions and highlight discussion items in advance. With LSST data approaching, there may be many technical and detailed questions, that we would be happy to answer. Please add below
1. Will we see any example alerts coming from re-processed ComCam data, which are exactly in the same schema as the LSSTCam alerts ?
