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

Are the Magellanic Clouds on Their First Passage about the Milky Way

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reexamine the orbital history of the Magellanic Clouds using the new velocities and a ΛCDM-motivated Milky Way model with virial mass Mvir = 1012 M
Journal ArticleDOI

Third-epoch magellanic cloud proper motions. i. hubble space telescope/wfc3 data and orbit implications

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present proper motions for the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) based on three epochs of Hubble Space Telescope data, spanning a ~7-yr baseline, and centered on fields with background QSOs.
