Abstract:

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), the first project to be undertaken

at the new Vera C. Rubin Observatory, will be the most comprehensive optical

astronomical survey ever undertaken. Starting in 2024, Rubin Observatory will

obtain panoramic images covering the sky visible from its location in Chile

every clear night for ten years. The resulting hundreds of petabytes of imaging

data, essentially a digital color movie of the night sky, will include about

40 billion stars and galaxies, and will be used for investigations ranging

from cataloging dangerous near-Earth asteroids to fundamental physics such as

characterization of dark matter and dark energy. I will start the presentation

with an overview of LSST science drivers and system design, and continue with

a construction status report for the Rubin Observatory. I will conclude with a brief

discussion of synergies between Rubin, Euclid, and Roman Space Telescope.
