In this talk I will present Fink, an astronomy broker specifically designed for LSST. Fink is based on high-end technology and designed for fast and efficient analysis of big data streams. It has been chosen as one of the official LSST brokers who will receive the full data stream. I will highlight the state-of-the-art machine learning techniques used to generate early classification scores...
The new era of wide-field time-domain surveys will open a new window to gravitational lensing phenomena, leading to the discovery of strongly lensed transients and enabling the discovery of microlensing events across the celestial sphere. For example, the Vera Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to find on the order of a hundred strongly lensed supernovae, which will...
The Vera Rubin Observatory will enable a wealth of discoveries when mapping the sky from Cerro Pachon, Chile, every few nights, for the next decade. Brazil is in a privileged situation to do follow-up work and characterize the newly discovered sources, having in particular a 4m and an 8m telescope next doors to the Vera Rubin telescope and a number of other telescopes (available or planned) on...
The detection of new astronomical events is one of the most anticipated outcomes of the next generation of large-scale sky surveys. Experiments such as the Vera Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time are expected to continuously monitor large areas of the sky with remarkable deliberation, which will undoubtedly lead to the detection of unforeseen astrophysical phenomena. At the same...
The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time will probe the optical time-domain with unprecedented depth, wide area, and cadence, yielding millions of transients and new scientific insight into stellar explosions, compact object physics, and cosmology. Much of the preparation for Rubin science focuses around readying existing transient surveys for the multiple order of magnitude increase...
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is a planned 10-year survey of the southern sky to be conducted at the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The Rubin Observatory is expected to produce approximately 15 terabytes of LSST data per night, covering the entire sky every three nights. The LSST project involves eight separate science collaborations, including the Dark Energy Science Collaboration...
