LSST Aux Tel Observing Notes

NCSA access notes

Aug 2022 activity planning

Powerpoint deck: Aug2022Planning.pptx

Roman workshops happen 2022, white papers due mid-2023.

Taska and opportunities: 

  1. Look up nominal extinction profiles for Rubin deep drilling fields
  2. Consider joint Roman + LSST constraints on extinction corrections, using stars
  3. Propose concrete calibration program during Rubin data collection
  4. Talk with Eli Rykoff about extending FGCM to include extinction
  5. observing plan for Sept
  6. download some quadnotch images
