LSST Camera

AAL was proud to host the 2022 Australian LSST Workshop, held online on Monday 12 Dec 2022 from noon-5pm AEDT (9am-2pm AWST).

AAL, ADACS, and AAO Data Central are gearing up to provide in-kind software engineering effort to Rubin Observatory, as well as host an International LSST Data Access Centre (IDAC) in Australia, to be funded through a combination of an ARC LIEF grant and NCRIS funding. This will enable LSST data access rights for 47 Australian PIs, and a further 188 Junior Associates (JAs). This workshop provided a showcase for our community of PIs and JAs to describe the work they are doing to prepare for LSST science, and outline use cases for the Australian IDAC.
