Funded Activity Summary
Australian Participation in the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is a 10-year US survey where the entire Southern Sky will be imaged every few days starting in 2023. The dataset will provide the highest resolution and sensitivity images ever recorded as well as 10 million alerts per day to transient objects, transforming many areas of astrophysics. The 8.4m telescope is under construction in Chile with over 1000 scientists from 25+ countries already involved. This proposal supports in-kind contributions to LSST, providing membership of LSST to 45 Australian astronomers and their students. Expected outcomes include training of young researchers in big data, strong international links and enhanced capacity for Australian leadership in astrophysics research.Funded Activity Details
