Enigma_1189
This is an animation of a potential LSST observing strategy, from simulated survey 'enigma_1189'. For more information on LSST simulated surveys, see https://confluence.lsstcorp.org/displ..., which includes a link to a set of additional simulated surveys.
More analysis of the enigma_1189 run is available at http://tusken.astro.washington.edu:80...
This movie includes nights 25-32 then skips ahead to 400-401 (just beyond the first year, just after the sky is just coming to closure), then skips to near the end of the survey for nights 3000-3001. Some nights within those are not shown, due to weather or other downtime included in the simulated survey.
The left-hand side of the movie illustrates the ongoing observations; the 'active' observation is shown with a black outline, while previous observations are shown with various levels of transparency corresponding to how recent and how many there have been at each pointing in the sky. The gray circular area near the center is the 20 degree elevation pointing limit for LSST. The entire map rotates to keep "overhead" (zenith) at the center of the plot.
The right hand side of the movie shows the cumulative number of visits; at the top this is the total number of visits in all bands, while the small plots show u/g, r/i, z/y bands separately. The scale for the cumulative number of visits in all bands is 0-90 for the first year of the survey, 0-180 the second year, and so on until year ten when it is 0-900; in each of the individual bands, the scale runs up to 1/4 of the max in all bands (i.e. 0-22 in the first year).

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) was the highest-ranked ground-based telescope in the 2010 Decadal Survey, and will define much of the direction of the astronomical community in the 2020's. The massive wide-deep-fast survey of the sky it will carry out will follow in the tradition of previous surveys of the sky, including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Like SDSS, LSST is designed to address specific science goals, but its most exciting discoveries are likely to be in areas that we cannot yet anticipate. Indeed, the history of astronomy is replete with such examples: when a new window to the heavens is opened, we inevitably discover completely new phenomena.
In this talk, Strauss will set some of this context, describe the design and science of LSST, and discuss a precursor survey on the Subaru telescope that will set some of the scientific context of LSST.

Abstract:
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Entering the Era of Petascale Optical
Astronomy
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST;http://lsst.org) is a
planned, large-aperture, wide-field, ground-based telescope that will
survey half the sky every few nights in six optical bands from 320 to
1050 nm. It will explore a wide range of astrophysical questions,
ranging from discovering "killer" asteroids, to examining the nature of
dark energy.
The LSST will produce on average 15 terabytes of data per night,
yielding an (uncompressed) data set of over 100 petabytes at the end of
its 10-year mission. Dedicated HPC facilities will process the image
data in near real time, with full-dataset reprocessings on annual scale.
A sophisticated data management system will enable database queries from
individual users, as well as computationally intensive scientific
investigations that utilize the entire data set.
In this talk, I will give an overview of what LSST will deliver once
operational, review implications of LSST-sized data sets on astronomy in
the 2020s, and discuss how we as a community will need to prepare for
the upcoming age of petascale datasets.

Researchers have revealed the largest digital camera ever built.
It would take 1500 high-definition television screens to display just one image from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope's 3.2-gigapixel camera.
The vast camera will then be blasted into space, forming the heart of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST).
Assembled at the DOE's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the camera will be the eye of LSST, revealing unprecedented details of the universe and helping unravel some of its greatest mysteries.
The Department of Energy has now approved the start of construction.
The construction milestone, known as Critical Decision 3, is the last major approval decision before the acceptance of the finished camera, said LSST Director Steven Kahn: 'Now we can go ahead and procure components and start building it.'
Starting in 2022, LSST will take digital images of the entire visible southern sky every few nights from atop a mountain called Cerro Pachón in Chile.
It will produce a wide, deep and fast survey of the night sky, cataloguing by far the largest number of stars and galaxies ever observed.
During a 10-year time frame, LSST will detect tens of billions of objects—the first time a telescope will observe more galaxies than there are people on Earth – and will create movies of the sky with unprecedented details.

March 29, 2008 You're watching hot glass melt inside the rotating oven of the University of Arizona's Mirror Lab. When cooled, the glass will form the primary and tertiary mirrors of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a unique wide-field survey telescope expected to see first light in 2014 from Cerro Pachón in Chile. The glass melted over several hours to the consistency of honey before seeping between ceramic molds. When cooled to a solid surface, the glass is ready for grinding and polishing into the proper shape for the telescope's mirrors. -

LSST Image Simulation
The movie shows photons from a faint star that refract through turbulence in the atmosphere, bounce of the LSST mirrors, pass through the camera lenses, and convert into photoelectrons in the silicon pixels of the LSST camera. The LSST Image Simulation group simulates trillions of these photons from stars and galaxies in a model of the Universe to produce millions of highly accurate astronomical images. These images are currently being used by the LSST Data Management group to help validate the image processing software and test the science goals of the LSST project.

This movie includes nights 25-32 then skips ahead to 400-401 (just beyond the first year, just after the sky is just coming to closure), then skips to near the end of the survey for nights 3000-3001. Some nights within those are not shown, due to weather or other downtime included in the simulated survey.
The left-hand side of the movie illustrates the ongoing observations; the 'active' observation is shown with a black outline, while previous observations are shown with various levels of transparency corresponding to how recent and how many there have been at each pointing in the sky. The gray circular area near the center is the 20 degree elevation pointing limit for LSST. The entire map rotates to keep "overhead" (zenith) at the center of the plot.
The right hand side of the movie shows the cumulative number of visits; at the top this is the total number of visits in all bands, while the small plots show u/g, r/i, z/y bands separately. The scale for the cumulative number of visits in all bands is 0-90 for the first year of the survey, 0-180 the second year, and so on until year ten when it is 0-900; in each of the individual bands, the scale runs up to 1/4 of the max in all bands (i.e. 0-22 in the first year).

The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) was the highest-ranked ground-based telescope in the 2010 Decadal Survey, and will define much of the direction of the astronomical community in the 2020's. The massive wide-deep-fast survey of the sky it will carry out will follow in the tradition of previous surveys of the sky, including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Like SDSS, LSST is designed to address specific science goals, but its most exciting discoveries are likely to be in areas that we cannot yet anticipate. Indeed, the history of astronomy is replete with such examples: when a new window to the heavens is opened, we inevitably discover completely new phenomena.
In this talk, Strauss will set some of this context, describe the design and science of LSST, and discuss a precursor survey on the Subaru telescope that will set some of the scientific context of LSST.

Speaker: Mario Juric, LSST Group
Abstract:
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Entering the Era of Petascale Optical
Astronomy
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST;http://lsst.org) is a
planned, large-aperture, wide-field, ground-based telescope that will
survey half the sky every few nights in six optical bands from 320 to
1050 nm. It will explore a wide range of astrophysical questions,
ranging from discovering "killer" asteroids, to examining the nature of
dark energy.
The LSST will produce on average 15 terabytes of data per night,
yielding an (uncompressed) data set of over 100 petabytes at the end of
its 10-year mission. Dedicated HPC facilities will process the image
data in near real time, with full-dataset reprocessings on annual scale.
A sophisticated data management system will enable database queries from
individual users, as well as computationally intensive scientific
investigations that utilize the entire data set.
In this talk, I will give an overview of what LSST will deliver once
operational, review implications of LSST-sized data sets on astronomy in
the 2020s, and discuss how we as a community will need to prepare for
the upcoming age of petascale datasets.

Researchers have revealed the largest digital camera ever built.
It would take 1500 high-definition television screens to display just one image from the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope's 3.2-gigapixel camera.
The vast camera will then be blasted into space, forming the heart of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST).
Assembled at the DOE's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the camera will be the eye of LSST, revealing unprecedented details of the universe and helping unravel some of its greatest mysteries.
The Department of Energy has now approved the start of construction.
The construction milestone, known as Critical Decision 3, is the last major approval decision before the acceptance of the finished camera, said LSST Director Steven Kahn: 'Now we can go ahead and procure components and start building it.'
Starting in 2022, LSST will take digital images of the entire visible southern sky every few nights from atop a mountain called Cerro Pachón in Chile.
It will produce a wide, deep and fast survey of the night sky, cataloguing by far the largest number of stars and galaxies ever observed.
During a 10-year time frame, LSST will detect tens of billions of objects—the first time a telescope will observe more galaxies than there are people on Earth – and will create movies of the sky with unprecedented details.

You're watching hot glass melt inside the rotating oven of the University of Arizona's Mirror Lab. When cooled, the glass will form the primary and tertiary mirrors of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a unique wide-field survey telescope expected to see first light in 2014 from Cerro Pachón in Chile. The glass melted over several hours to the consistency of honey before seeping between ceramic molds. When cooled to a solid surface, the glass is ready for grinding and polishing into the proper shape for the telescope's mirrors.

The movie shows photons from a faint star that refract through turbulence in the atmosphere, bounce of the LSST mirrors, pass through the camera lenses, and convert into photoelectrons in the silicon pixels of the LSST camera. The LSST Image Simulation group simulates trillions of these photons from stars and galaxies in a model of the Universe to produce millions of highly accurate astronomical images. These images are currently being used by the LSST Data Management group to help validate the image processing software and test the science goals of the LSST project.
