DMTN-093: Design of the LSST Alert Distribution System

Dataset Patterson, Maria T. ; Bellm, Eric C. ; Swinbank, John D. ; ...

We describe the proposed design and implementation of the LSST Alert Distribution System, which provides rapid dissemination of alerts to community alert brokers. At time of writing, this service is still under development; this “living document” describes current thinking, but is expected to evolve over the course of LSST construction.
DMTN-107: Options for Alert Production in LSST Operations Year 1

Dataset Graham, Melissa L. ; Bellm, Eric C. ; Slater, Colin T. ; ...

This document reviews five options for alert production in LSST Operations Year 1 (LOY1), taking into account any implications on LSST formal requirements including up-scopes, down-scopes or explicit violations. The Data Management System Science Team's preferred option for maximizing LSST science is to generate template images from as much of the data from the commissioning and/or science verification phases as possible and use them to run Difference Image Analysis and alert production during LOY1. A proposal to increase the sky area covered during commissioning via a "filler" scheduler program is also presented. As a potential moderate up-scope, this study presents an option to build interim templates on amore »« less

A report on the Fall 2020 state of the LSST Alert Production Pipelines' ability to process deep images in the galactic bulge.
DMTN-221: Periodicity Analysis in Alert Production

Dataset Tzanidakis, Anastasios ; Bellm, Eric C.

The baselined timeseries features to be computed in Alert Production include a Lomb-Scargle periodogram ran on two classes of variable systems: RR Lyrae and Eclipsing Binaries. Based on a simulated LSST-like cadence light curves taken from the Extended LSST Astronomical Time-series Classification Challenge (ELAsTiCC) we perform an end-to-end test to characterize the periodicity recovery on the Alert Production multi-band light curves. In both variable classes, we found that a single-band Lomb-Scargle implementation yields to a low fraction of recovered periods, with a significant preference on the simple periodic phenomena such as RR Lyrae. We also investigated the results from a multi-band Lomb-Scargle and found an increased fraction of recovered periodicities above 15% for the eclipsing binaries, and over 80more »« less
DMTN-031: Pessimistic Pattern Matching for LSST

Dataset Morrison, Christopher B.

The current reference catalog matcher used by LSST for astrometry has been found to not be adequately robust and fails to find matches on several current datasets. This document describes a potential replacement algorithm, and compares its performance with the current implementation.
