About This Hackathon
Title: An Introduction to Rubin Observatory
Abstract: This talk will provide an overview of Rubin's Simonyi Survey Telescope, the LSST Camera, and the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). It will provide a high-level summary of the Data Management System: the data processing pipelines and the variety of data products they produce. It will also introduce the data releases that are available now, and give a timeline for what to expect over the next couple of years.
