Abstract

We cover the basics of how a rolling cadence survey strategy can work, and review the results of a variety of rolling simulations. We find that Type Ia SNe recovery can be enhanced by using rolling cadence, while detecting fast microlensing events are dominated by footprint coverage.

PSTN-051: Survey Strategy and Cadence Choices for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST)

Dataset Jones, R. Lynne ; Yoachim, Peter ; Ivezić, Željko ; ...

A summary of survey strategy and cadence choices, simulated and evaluated by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Scheduler Team, prepared for the Survey Cadence and Optimization Committee (SCOC). A large telescope survey, covering the entire visible sky repeatedly every few days in multiple bandpasses over the course of ten years, is the core idea of the LSST. An area of about 20,000 square degrees observed under a wide range of conditions to deep coadded limiting magnitudes in bandpasses ugrizy enables cosmological studies and studies of the Milky Way structure with unprecedented precision; themore »« less
PSTN-053: Survey Cadence Optimization Committee's Phase 1 Recommendations

Dataset Rubin's Survey Cadence Optimization Committee ; Bauer, Franz E. ; Brough, Sarah ; ...

This document is authored by the Survey Cadence Optimization Committee (SCOC), guided by the community input, and it will serve as a roadmap for the concluding round of survey cadence simulations. These simulations, to be delivered during early calendar year 2022, will inform the phase 2 survey strategy recommendation which will define the baseline strategy for starting the Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The phase 2 SCOC recommendation will be delivered to the Rubin Observatory Operations Director before the end of calendar year 2022.
PSTN-055: Survey Cadence Optimization Committee's Phase 2 Recommendations

Dataset Rubin's Survey Cadence Optimization Committee ; Bauer, Franz E. ; Bianco, Federica B. ; ...

This document describes the recommendations formulated by the Survey Cadence Optimization Committee (SCOC) of Vera C. Rubin Observatory for the observing strategy of the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). These "Phase 2" recommendations follow the initial "Phase 1" recommendations released in December 2021 as PSTN-053, and convey the current recommendations for the initial implementation of the LSST. These recommendations are based on the SCOC analysis of LSST simulations generated according to PSTN-053 and the feedback received from the scientific community on those simulations. These recommendations should be considered as the current guidance for implementing the LSST observing surveymore »« less
PSTN-056: Survey Cadence Optimization Committee's Phase 3 Recommendations

Dataset Rubin's Survey Cadence Optimization Committee ; Bianco, Federica B. ; Jones, R. Lynne ; ...

We present the final planned comprehensive recommendation for Rubin Observatory the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) survey strategy ahead of the start of LSST. This recommendation is the product of a many-years-long iterative process where community recommendations to maximize the scientific impact of LSST across domains of astrophysics were reviewed, synthesized, aggregated, and merged to define the overall plan for 10 years of LSST observations. The current recommendation builds on Phase 1 (PSTN-053) and Phase 2 recommendations (PSTN-055) and, together, they define a 10-year plan for observing. Here we answer questions left open in PSTN-055, refine additional surveymore »« less
PSTN-019: The LSST Science Pipelines Software: Optical Survey Pipeline Reduction and Analysis Environment

Dataset

The NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory will produce the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), producing 11 data releases over the ten-year survey. The LSST Science Pipelines Software, the Optical Survey Pipeline Reduction and Analysis Environment (OSPRAE), will be used to create these data releases and to perform the nightly alert production. This paper provides an overview of the LSST Science Pipelines Software, describing the components and how they are combined to form pipelines
