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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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

The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-ray Bursts. I. Comparing pre-Swift and Swift-era Long/Soft (Type II) GRB Optical Afterglows

David Alexander Kann, +83 more
TL;DR: The first indications of a class of long GRBs are presented, which form a bridge between the typical high-luminosity, high-redshift events and nearby low- luminosity events (which are also associated with spectroscopic supernovae) in terms of energetics and observed redshift distribution, indicating a continuous distribution overall.
Journal ArticleDOI

Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914

B. P. Abbott, +1622 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sky localization of the first observed compact binary merger is presented, where the authors describe the low-latency analysis of the LIGO data and present a sky localization map.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Pluto-like radius and a high albedo for the dwarf planet Eris from an occultation

TL;DR: The observation of a multi-chord stellar occultation by Eris on 6 November 2010 is reported, consistent with a spherical shape for Eris, and it is anticipated that this atmosphere may periodically sublimate as Eris approaches its perihelion, at 37.8 astronomical units from the Sun.
