January 24, 2023 - To kick off 2023, Vera C. Rubin Observatory staff and members of the Rubin science community participated in the American Astronomical Society’s Winter meeting (AAS 241) on January 8-12. The conference, which was attended by over 3000 in-person participants, was held in Seattle, WA. There were a number of ways for people to engage with Rubin Observatory at this year’s meeting, including an exhibit booth optimally located just inside the entrance to the exhibit hall. The Education and Public Outreach (EPO) team took advantage of the heavy booth traffic to promote their program which features a new website, animated videos, classroom investigations for astronomy teachers, and a video game called Space Surveyors. It was fun to watch people at the conference compete with each other to get the highest Space Surveyors score of the day to win a prize! 

On the third evening of the meeting, Rubin Observatory hosted a Town Hall, where a diverse audience gathered to hear updates given by Rubin leadership and staff, representatives from the Rubin Science Collaborations, and the LSST Corporation. 

Lots of people stopped by the booth throughout the week to chat informally with Rubin staff and scientists, and there were dozens of presentations and panel discussions with Rubin participation. 

The Town Hall presentation is available on Zenodo, and here’s an album of photos taken at the meeting.

June 28, 2022 - The American Astronomical Society (AAS) offered its first hybrid conference (in-person and virtual attendance both supported) in over two years on June 8-13, in Pasadena, California, and Rubin Observatory was there! AAS 240 was one of the biggest summer meetings AAS has ever hosted, its 2022 winter meeting was scheduled to take place in Salt Lake City in January, but it was canceled at the last minute because of a spike in COVID-19 cases. So the mood was cautious but also festive as over 2000 astronomy students, professionals, and enthusiasts gathered to share their work and network with colleagues—all while masked and following appropriate COVID-19 safety protocols.

The Rubin Observatory Construction Project hosted a booth in the exhibit hall throughout the week, with booth representatives on hand to offer information, answer questions, and give out Rubin Observatory swag (of course)! In fact, it was our first conference opportunity to distribute items with our new name and logo. Rubin also facilitated a “Find Vera” contest, in which conference participants were invited to locate a photo of Vera Rubin in a large mosaic of images. If they were successful, they were entered in a daily drawing to win a Rubin Observatory picnic blanket. The contest was popular, and many people returned to play for another chance to win.

The Rubin Communications team also ran a social media campaign for those attending, as well as anyone wanting to follow along virtually. You can see our posts from the meeting on our twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts. 

Rubin staff who gave presentations in sessions and events throughout the week included Zeljko Ivezic (Director of Rubin Construction), Bob Blum (Director of Rubin Operations), Lauren Corlies (Head of Rubin Education and Public Outreach), Stephanie Deppe (Astronomy Content Strategist for Rubin EPO) Robert Lupton (Rubin Commissioning Scientist), and Meredith Rawls (Rubin Data Management software developer).

It was a pleasure to see members of the astronomy community and some of our distributed Rubin colleagues  in person again. We look forward to the upcoming Rubin Observatory Project and Community Workshop (PCW), which will also be held in person, August 8-12 in Tucson, Arizona.

January 25, 2021 - This year's AAS Winter Meeting (AAS 237), originally planned for Scottsdale, AZ, was held virtually on January 10-15th, 2021. As in past years, Rubin Observatory had a prominent presence at the meeting—although without a conference center, an exhibit hall, or chance encounters over coffee, things definitely felt different. Nevertheless, members of the Rubin team made productive use of the online meeting, hosting a virtual exhibit booth, an Open House, and several breakout sessions throughout the week.

More than 70 people attended the Rubin Observatory Open House on January 12th, which featured presentations from members of the Rubin Observatory and the Rubin science community. Director Steve Kahn provided a high-level summary of the Construction project, including the impact of the  Covid-19 pandemic on the schedule. Project Manager Victor Krabbendam commented on overall technical progress, as well as advances made in each of the construction subsystems. Bob Blum, Acting Director of Rubin Operations, gave an overview of Operations plans and introduced the other members of the Operations Leadership team. Melissa Graham, head of the Community Engagement Team (CET), described plans for Data Preview 0 (zero) and opportunities for community involvement. Interim Deputy Director Amanda Bauer gave updates on the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Cadence activities, and Phil Marshall, Deputy Director for SLAC, explained the in-kind contribution program. In her role as LSST Science Collaborations Coordinator, Federica Bianco described the mission and makeup of the eight LSST Science Collaborations, and encouraged participation from anyone wanting to do science with Rubin. Finally, Jeno Sokolowski, LSST Corporation (LSSTC) Director for Science presented on the role of the LSSTC, and the programs and activities it supports in order to maximize Rubin Observatory science. A full recording of the Open House can be found at this link. 

Rubin Observatory's virtual AAS exhibit booth featured a live chat room and an option to join a Zoom conversation with Rubin staff. Attendees who visited the booth could also access a suite of informational documents and videos. The Rubin Communications team facilitated a contest to increase booth traffic; participants took a short quiz and a winner was selected at random from the entries each day. The six daily winners will be among the first people to sport Rubin Observatory T-shirts that feature our new logo.

Melissa Graham represented the CET at the exhibit booth, hosting two information sessions on January 13th and 14th for scientists interested in learning more about participating in Data Preview 0. Current information on community participation in DP0 can be found at this link. 

On January 14th, the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) hosted a session in which it announced the public release of a set of data products developed in DESC's Second Data Challenge (DC2). DC2 is a simulated sky survey, covering 300 square degrees in six optical passbands following the first five years of a reference LSST observing cadence. The simulated data in DC2 will be used in Data Preview 0.  

Thanks to the many project members who represented Rubin Observatory at this year's meeting, as well as those who helped staff the exhibit booth, answering questions and engaging with meeting attendees during the week. We hope to be able to network and collaborate with our colleagues in person again soon.

Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Agreement No. 1258333, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).  The DOE-funded effort to build the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
