LSST Atmospheric Transmission Imager and Slitless Spectrograph (LATISS)
LATISS, the LSST Atmospheric Transmission Imager and Slitless Spectrograph, is installed on the Rubin Auxiliary Telescope, a 1.2-meter telescope dedicated to atmospheric characterization at the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory site. It uses a 4k x 4k CCD, made by ITL, of the same type as used on LSSTCam. It is designed to measure atmospheric transmission and calibrate LSST observations by taking spectra of standard stars.
