Active Optics Commissioning

Submitted by jmeyers314 on Mon, 05/16/2022 - 16:08

We will discuss commissioning plans for Rubin Active Optics, both with ComCam and the full camera. Specific topics may include:
• Observations we plan to take during commissioning
• Goals of each type of observation
• Analysis plans for each type of observation
• Criteria to guide progress through various commissioning tasks (when do we declare success?)

We seek expertise from community members with experience commissioning other telescopes’ active optics systems, including DECam, Magellan, VST, and others.

Financial support for Rubin Observatory 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 Rubin Observatory 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 Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
