Title:
LSST: New Science Frontiers
Speaker:
Abstract:
Expected to be on the sky by 2020, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope system will produce a 6-color wide-field ultra deep astronomical survey of the southern sky. Using an 8.4-meter telescope and a 3200 megapixel camera, each night LSST will obtain multiple images covering a wide swath of sky visible from its location on Cerro Pachón in northern Chile. The LSST leverages innovative technology in all subsystems. Fifteen terabytes of data will be produced nightly, and alerts issued worldwide within 60 seconds for objects that change in position or brightness.
