Rubin Observatory Algorithms Workshop
17-19 March, 2020 | Virtual/Remote
Overview
The Rubin Observatory Project will host a workshop on the topic of image processing and algorithms for the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The aim of this workshop is to provide a forum for the presentation of the algorithmic challenges faced by LSST, and to solicit feedback and ideas as to how these algorithms can best meet the scientific needs of the community. Topics of discussion will include (but are not necessarily limited to): Calibration, Point Spread Function Estimation, Galaxy Photometry, Deblending & Crowded Fields, and Image Differencing. The workshop will include a combination of presentations from the Project on the current status of LSST algorithms and pipelines, with unconference sessions scheduled to encourage open discussion.
Workshop Goals
Communicate the strategy for further development of LSST image processing algorithms to stakeholders, seek their input to it, and hear any ideas they have about ramifications for science, or other approaches that maybe should be considered.
Ensure that the choice of LSST image processing algorithms reflects the current state of the art.
Demonstrate the current performance of LSST image processing pipelines, based on pre-cursor data, to the community.
Document the LSST algorithmic strategy for image processing, describe what Rubin Observatory expects to deliver by the end of construction, and outline what further improvements should be prioritized during the first few years of operations.
Venue, Travel, and Accommodation
Due to the coronovirus, this workshop will be virtual.
Details will be posted soon

Financial support for LSST comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Agreement No. 1258333, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded LSST Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). The DOE-funded effort to build the LSST camera is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
