Abstract

A major product of the nightly processing of LSST images is a world-public stream of alerts from transient, variable, and moving sources. Science users will access these alerts through community brokers or through a simple filtering service provided by LSST. This document provides a guide to the plans and policies for the alert distribution system to aid science users, broker developers, funding agencies, and LSST Project personnel. It describes the components of the alert distribution system and the data rights required to access specific scientific products. It provides guidelines for organizations developing community brokers and describes the planned capabilities of the LSST simple alert filtering service and Science Platform to aid science users in planning for LSST science.

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.

A quantitative review of the key numbers associated with the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Alert Stream.
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

The LSST Camera (LSSTCam)

Dataset

The LSST Camera is the sole instrument for the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory and consists of a 3.2 gigapixel focal plane mosaic with in-vacuum controllers, dedicated guider and wavefront CCDs, a three-element corrector whose largest lens is 1.55m in diameter, six optical interference filters covering a 320-1050nm band pass with an out-of-plane filter exchange mechanism, and camera slow control and data acquisition systems capable of digitizing each image in 2 seconds.
