LSST at AAS

LSST has a strong presence at the January 2011 meeting in Seattle, starting with a Special Session titled "Community Science with LSST" on Monday, 1/10 with six speakers. Twenty-five posters make up poster session 252 on Tuesday, 1/11. Links to these posters and presentations will be presented on this page as they become available.

Jan 10 Special Session: Community Science with LSST

As the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) moves closer to operations, the astronomical community is gearing up to take maximum advantage of the unprecedented opportunity LSST provides. This AAS Special Session gives astronomers a preview of the available data products and interfaces as well as a discussion of the transformative science enabled by LSST.
