In this session we will discuss the necessary ingredients and best tools available to identify and classify young transients using the Rubin alert stream.

The unprecedented depth of the LSST will pose serious challenges to our detection and measurement algorithms due to the apparent blending of sources. In this session, we will review the current Project plans for detection and deblending, including an update on the new DM deblender, Scarlet-lite.

THIS SESSION IS CANCELLED

Due to all participants heading instead to the System Performance All-hand Meeting on Thursday morning.

Over the last year, the AOS Commissioning Team has worked on brainstorming and detailing the different tests and validations that will be needed to commission the Active Optics System (AOS).

This session will showcase the science use cases of software being developed by the LINCC frameworks team, including tools for AGN time series analysis, photo-z commissioning, alert packet metadata, and full survey cross-matching.

This session welcomes anyone who is interested in preparing for science with the simulated datasets of Data Preview 0 (DP0), which are currently available in the Rubin Science Platform (RSP) with the same formats, access mechanisms, and analysis tools as will be used for future real data.

One of the most exciting promises of LSST is its potential to discover completely novel phenomena, never before observed or predicted from theory.  Serendipitous discovery in astrophysics has traditionally tapped heavily into person-power, with citizen-scientist platforms (e.g.

Meet the Rubin UI Component Library, a collection of Rubin-branded React Components EPO created to maintain visual and functional consistency across its suite of web products, and beyond.

In this session, we will introduce the imSim software package to the rest of the Rubin community including its features, inputs for simulating exposures, and its ability to specify details of the optical system.

For anyone new to the Rubin Observatory or seeking a refresher on the observatory's systems. This session will place a special emphasis on jargon and acronyms.

This session will start with a short introduction to the Rubin Data Management team’s PZ Roadmap, including an update from the PZ Commissining Team, and short status updates on PZ-related software infrastructure.

09:00 - 09:45

Operations update

4:00 - 5:00pm

A brief welcome by Operations Director Robert Blum and the directorate will be followed by a few logistics item after which the plenary will dive into providing a construction update.

Undergraduate students funded by the LSSTC will have their posters displayed all day on Monday and Tuesday.

These undergraduates will be giving flash talks during the Monday and Tuesday plenary sessions.

These undergraduates will be giving flash talks during the Monday and Tuesday plenary sessions.

This session is intended to be a discussion of planned (or desired) analyses related to probing the nature of dark matter with LSST. 

Difference Image Analysis (DIA) is fundamental to the LSST alert stream and will play an important role in the annual data releases.

Updates will be given on the new GCN alert format, Rubin brokers, the TOM Toolkit, and AEON on Las Cumbres and NOIRLab facilities (SOAR, Blanco, Gemini).

The session will describe the organization and various efforts related to planning System First Light, Observatory Dedication, and building momentum toward early science. Community engagement is critical to success.

All are welcome to join this session, which will include an assortment of contributed talks on Rubin-related research.

Agenda

Welcome (5 min)

We will discuss the application of Rubin da

The meeting will be open to all PCW participants, but we will have an executive session at the end for SAC members to gather their thoughts. 
All times Mountain Standard Time = Pacific Daylight Time (i.e., local time in Tucson).
(Note: we’re on our own for breakfast).  

As Rubin operations nears, the need for complete scientific analysis pipelines and science infrastructure is clear.

Many brilliant minds, both Rubin employees and those in the scientific community, are already supporting the goal of proving that we have built the observatory that we said we would build and that it performs to a level that we said it would perform to.

Rubin Observatory is developing a comprehensive plan for the sequence of on-sky and in-dome data acquisition, data processing, and verification activities during the on-sky commissioning period with LSSTCam, considering AOS commissioning, calibration, and science programs together.

A session for TVS members to come together and strategize on future directions. Two talks regarding projects relevant to TVS will be followed by an extensive discussion regarding new TVS subgroups and task forces.

Agenda:

We'll review new features added to the LSST Science Pipelines in the past year, current performance on precursor datasets and plans for this upcoming year. This tag team session will highlight algorithmic and validation contributions from members of the Science Pipelines team. 

This session will feature a review of the latest baseline cadence deliberations and simulation, including presenting the baseline released in 2022 (see PSTN-055.lsst.io) and subsequent updates to this baseline.
