LSST data-rights holder status obtained by the astrophysics group

The astrophysics group has secured formal LSST Data Rights. This grants eligible group members—such as faculty, postdocs, and students—full access to proprietary Rubin Observatory data products and the Rubin Science Platform (RSP).

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is a 10-year astronomical survey conducted by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Coquimbo Region, Chile. It operates a massive 8.4-meter telescope equipped with the world’s largest digital camera (3.2 gigapixels) to repeatedly scan the entire Southern Hemisphere sky every few nights.
