Abstract

This document defines the guidelines, principles, and formats for user-facing tutorials that demonstrate how to use the Rubin Science Platform (RSP) to analyze data from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). All Rubin staff and the broader science community should use these guidelines when contributing to the sets of Jupyter Notebook or documentation-based tutorials maintained by the Rubin Community Science team (CST).

RTN-011: Rubin Observatory Plans for an Early Science Program

Dataset Guy, Leanne P. ; Bechtol, Keith ; Bellm, Eric C. ; ...

This document outlines Rubin Observatory's plans for a dedicated \emph{Early Science Program} to enable high-impact science prior to the first annual data release of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Components of the Early Science Program include releasing science-grade commissioning data products via a series of ``Data Previews,'' ramping up of the transient alert stream during commissioning, implementing a program of incremental template generation to augment alert production in the early phases of the survey, and the first LSST Data Release, DR1, based on the first 6 months of data from the LSST.

Substrate-explicit Modeling Tutorial

Dataset Song, Hyun-Seob ; Lee, Joon-Yong

This tutorial Narrative demonstrates how to apply thermodynamic theory, also known as lambda theory, to convert molecular formulas of compounds (derived from FTICR-MS peaks using Formulatiry and R codes) into stoichiometric and kinetic forms of biogeochemical reactions and how to use the resulting kinetic equations to simulate dynamic conversion of compounds in batch and continuous stirred tank reactors. It will address under what conditions respiration rates are driven by thermodynamics, and how respiration rates respond to the variations in parameters and input variables and how to interpret the results.
RTN-098: Target-of-Opportunity Operations During the Science Verification Surveys

Dataset MacBride, Sean Patrick

We describe the technical implementation of the Rubin Target-of-Opportunity system, the workflow during the early commissioning and science verification period, the responses to real and mock alerts, and lessons learned.
RTN-107: The Rubin Observatory Target-of-Opportunity Mock Data Challenge

Dataset MacBride, Sean Patrick

We describe the activities of the Target-of-Opportunity mock data challenge, taking place from Sep 22 2025 - Oct 18 2025. We center this activity in four questions that are critical for maximizing the scientific output of the ToO system: (1) How quickly can Rubin Observatory start observing after a ToO alert is received? (2) How efficient is Rubin Observatory at recovering the host of a ToO event? (3) How accurate are the observing strategies that the community has created for the ToO program? (4) How can expert ToO scientists interact effectively with the ToO system, where many processes are fullymore »« less
