Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Overview
A large wide-field telescope and camera with optical throughput over 200 m deg – a factor of 50 beyond what we currently have – would enable the detection of faint moving or bursting optical objects: from Earth threatening asteroids to energetic events at the edge of the optical universe. An optimized design for LSST is a 8.4 m telescope with a 3 degree field of view and an optical throughput o...
متن کاملAsteroid Discovery and Characterization with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be a ground-based, optical, allsky, rapid cadence survey project with tremendous potential for discovering and characterizing asteroids. With LSST’s large 6.5m diameter primary mirror, a wide 9.6 square degree field of view 3.2 Gigapixel camera, and rapid observational cadence, LSST will discover more than 5 million asteroids over its ten year sur...
متن کاملScience Data Quality Assessment for the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
LSST will have a Science Data Quality Assessment (SDQA) subsystem for the assessment of the data products that will be produced during the course of a 10 yr survey. The LSST will produce unprecedented volumes of astronomical data as it surveys the accessible sky every few nights. The SDQA subsystem will enable comparisons of the science data with expectations from prior experience and models, a...
متن کاملFinding habitable earths around white dwarfs with a robotic telescope transit survey
I discuss the possibility that white dwarfs might harbor habitable planets at 0.01 AU that arrive there after the red giant phase. These planets would be detectable with ground-based telescopes via deep transits of the star, and a transit survey of the nearest white dwarfs would favor detection of Earth-temperature planets, assuming they could form as close as twice the Roche limit. I show that...
متن کاملFirst Cosmic Shear Results from the Canada-france-hawaii Telescope Wide Synoptic Legacy Survey
We present the first measurements of the weak gravitational lensing signal induced by the large scale mass distribution from data obtained as part of the ongoing Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Legacy Survey (CFHTLS). The data used in this analysis are from the Wide Synoptic Survey, which aims to image ∼ 170 square degree in five filters. We have analysed ∼ 22 deg (31 pointings) of i data spread...
