5th LSST Regional Workshop
→
Europe/Rome
Description
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will carry out a decade-long survey of the southern sky. Following its first light in July 2025, the survey will begin issuing millions of transient and variable alerts each night within 60 seconds of observation starting in 2026. In summer 2026, the release of Data Preview 2 (DP2) will provide the first substantial set of representative data products, and in 2027 the first multi-petabyte data release (DR1) will follow, with subsequent releases issued annually.
Since 2021, several national teams in Eastern Europe (Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia) have organized annual LSST Regional Workshops to strengthen collaborations, exchange expertise, and prepare for LSST data exploitation.
The Padova–Trieste group, which has participated since 2022 and built strong scientific links within this regional community, will host the 5th LSST Regional Workshop 2026 at the Institute for Fundamental Physics of the Universe (IFPU), located at Miramare in Trieste, Italy.
The scientific discussions will span all areas that depend on deep and wide time-series photometry, going from solar system small bodies to cosmological constraints derived from supernova and weak lensing.
The workshop will follow the same flexible, interactive format as previous editions to prioritize open discussion. We begin Monday (Aug 31) early afternoon and conclude by Thursday (Sept 3) at lunch. Optional hands-on sessions and working groups will follow on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning for those interested in collaborative work.
The final agenda will be shaped by your input and contributions; for now, we kindly ask you to register and review the logistics information to help us plan the workshop.
