Room: Amphithéâtre Rubin Observatory is a discovery machine, with the capability to identify exotic astrophysical transients faster than any existing observatory. 3% of the LSST has been allocated for Target of Opportunity observations, which includes an observatory response to gravitational wave events, high energy neutrinos, potentially-hazardous asteroids, and other astrophysical phenomena. Target of Opportunity observations exist outside of the usual LSST operational mode, and therefore require special attention to ensure maximum discovery capabilities. I will briefly review the community designed ToO observing strategies, integration activities during 2025, ToO's pursued since LSST first photon, and the Rubin-LVK-IceCube ToO mock data challenge.

11:10 AM - 11:30 AM
Room: Amphithéâtre The Ellis and Baldwin formula provides a model-independant way to measure our own velocity with respect to matter at large scale. However, this measurement doesn't coincide with the same measurement with respect to the CMB, which puts into question the existence of the Cosmological Rest Frame [Secrest et al. 2021]. I will explain how LSST will provide an extremely useful data set to work on this issue, and what are the systematics and specificities that have to be taken into account. In particular, I will talk about weak lensing, and its potential impact on this measurement.

Full-Field Weak Lensing Inference at LSST Scale with Differentiable, Distributed Simulations
- Wassim KABALAN (CNRS APC/IN2P3)
11:30 AM - 11:50 AM
Room: Amphithéâtre Weak gravitational lensing maps contain rich, non-Gaussian information that standard two-point statistics miss. **Full-field inference** tackles this by forward-modeling the entire map—evolving initial conditions through structure formation and observational effects—and using the maps themselves to learn about cosmology, without compressing to summary statistics. In this talk, I will present a scalable, **JAX-based**, fully differentiable forward model for weak lensing at LSST scale. Built on the latest **JAXPM**, it produces spherical shear and convergence (κ) maps and runs efficiently on distributed GPUs; I will describe how we executed the pipeline on the **Jean Zay** supercomputer. I’ll focus on the practical design choices that make end-to-end differentiation and multi-GPU scaling feasible, and outline the next steps toward a complete inference pipeline on realistic survey data, including survey masks, noise, and photometric-redshift effects.

11:50 AM - 12:10 PM
Room: Amphithéâtre Cosmological research in the era of deep, wide-area surveys such as Euclid and Rubin/LSST benefits greatly from combining datasets collected with different instruments. However, the large volume of data makes analysis increasingly challenging. To address this, we developed a package based on the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) architecture that enables compact representations of spectroscopic and photometric datasets in a common latent space. This framework allows us to infer probability distributions for key galaxy parameters – such as redshift and stellar population properties – by jointly modeling spectral and photometric modalities. Our method provides a scalable probabilistic approach to galaxy property inference across large photometric and spectroscopic datasets, and we have successfully applied it to spectroscopic data from DESI and photometric data from HSC within the HSC-SSP survey area.

Room: Amphithéâtre Dark matter subhalos with masses from 10⁶ to 10⁹ solar masses are mostly invisible, but could impact the structure of stellar streams observed by LSST. Presentation on how LSST systematics could impact density fluctuations measurements in stellar streams, used to set dark matter constrains.

Cosmology from the Rubin Void Size Function
- Pierre Boccard (CPPM)
12:30 PM - 12:50 PM
Room: Amphithéâtre Cosmic voids are a powerful tool to extract cosmological constraints and study galaxy properties’ dependence on the environment. This project builds a pipeline for constraining cosmological parameters using the void size function (VSF). We build the void catalogs from the SkySim5000 galaxy catalogs using the publicly available VIDE void finder. The cosmological constraints’ inference relies on the state of the art theoretical model for the VSF and this project is the first to confront theoretical models to measurements made from voids obtained from photometric redshift tracer data, without assuming a spherical shape for voids. As such, it investigates the impact of statistical and systematic photometric redshift uncertainties on void statistics. Extracted constraints include constraining the dark energy equation of state, sigma 8, the dark matter density, the content of the Universe and the sum of neutrino masses.
