Session: Galaxies Science from Dwarfs to Clusters
Author: Anthony Englert

Abstract: We present the latest results from the Local Volume Complete Cluster Survey (LoVoCCS), a survey of 107 nearby (0.03 < z < 0.12), X-ray luminous (LX500 > 10^44 erg/s) galaxy clusters observed by the the Dark Energy Camera and processed with the LSST Science Pipeline. We reach 5-sigma point source depths m_AB ~ 25-26 in the u, g, i, r, z bands and construct aperture mass signal-to-noise maps detected via gravitational lensing. Of the 58 fully processed clusters thus-far, approximately half of these have yet to be studied via weak gravitational lensing prior to this work. This matches the expected LSST Y1-2 depth and provides a precursor dataset for future LSST cluster studies. We also introduce future directions for the collaboration, including: updating our processing pipeline to the current version of the LSP, using the LSST Source Injection task to inject lensed sources for testing our aperture mass maps, implementing the Dark Energy Survey sky-correction task in the LSP, and studying the distribution of starbursts across galaxy clusters.
