LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Željko Ivezić, +312 more
- 15 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: The LSST design is driven by four main science themes: probing dark energy and dark matter, taking an inventory of the solar system, exploring the transient optical sky, and mapping the Milky Way.

LSST: From Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Željko Ivezić, +335 more
TL;DR: The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) as discussed by the authors is a large, wide-field ground-based system designed to obtain repeated images covering the sky visible from Cerro Pachon in northern Chile.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detection of weak gravitational lensing distortions of distant galaxies by cosmic dark matter at large scales

TL;DR: The detection of cosmic shear on angular scales of up to half a degree is reported using 145,000 galaxies and along three separate lines of sight and it is found that the dark matter is distributed in a manner consistent with either an open universe, or a flat universe that is dominated by a cosmological constant.
Journal ArticleDOI

Detailed Mass Map of CL 0024+1654 from Strong Lensing

TL;DR: In this paper, a high-resolution mass map of the cluster 00241654 was constructed based on a parametric inversion z 0.39 of the associated gravitational lens, which creates eight well-resolved subimages of a background galaxy, seen in deep imaging with the Hubble Space Telescope.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Overview

TL;DR: The LSST as discussed by the authors is a 8.4 m telescope with a 3 degree field of view and an optical throughput of 260 m2 deg2 with a dedicated all-sky monitoring mode.
