16 The Data Challenge! ~2 Terabytes per hour that must be mined in real time.! More than 10 billion objects will be monitored for important variations in real time.! Knowledge extraction in real time.

Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics Johns Hopkins University Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology - Stanford University Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network, Inc.

19 Photometric Redshifts
20 LSST survey of 20,000 sq deg 4 billion galaxies with redshifts Time domain: 100,000 asteroids 1 million supernovae 1 million lenses new phenomena
21 LSST Science Charts New Territory Probing Dark Matter And Dark Energy Mapping the Milky Way Finding Near Earth Asteroids
22 3-D Mass Tomography 2x2 degree mass map from Deep Lens Survey
23 Resolving galaxies A given galaxy at high redshift should appear smaller. But two effects oppose this: cosmological angle-redshift relation, and greater star formation in the past (higher surface brightness). Here are plots of galaxy surface brightness vs radius (arcsec) in redshift bins from z = for apparent mag. At a surface brightness of 28 i mag/sq.arcsec (horizontal dashed line) most galaxies at z<3 are resolved in 0.6 arcsec FWHM seeing (vertical dashed line). HST/ACS GOODS, Ferguson 2007
24 Comparing HST with Subaru ACS: 34 min (1 orbit) PSF: 0.1 arcsec (FWHM) 2 arcmin
25 Comparing HST with Subaru Suprime-Cam: 20 min PSF: 0.52 arcsec (FWHM)

29 Massively Parallel Astrophysics Dark matter/dark energy via weak lensing Dark energy via baryon acoustic oscillations Dark energy via supernovae Galactic Structure encompassing local group Dense astrometry over sq.deg: rare moving objects Gamma Ray Bursts and transients to high redshift Gravitational micro-lensing Strong galaxy & cluster lensing: physics of dark matter Multi-image lensed SN time delays: separate test of cosmology Variable stars/galaxies: black hole accretion QSO time delays vs z: independent test of dark energy Optical bursters to 25 mag: the unknown 5-band 27 mag photometric survey: unprecedented volume Solar System Probes: Earth-crossing asteroids, Comets, TNOs
30 Key LSST Mission: Dark Energy Precision measurements of all four dark energy signatures in a single data set. Separately measure geometry and growth of dark matter structure vs cosmic time. " Weak gravitational lensing correlations + CMB (multiple lensing probes!) " Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) + CMB " Counts of dark matter clusters + CMB " Supernovae to redshift 1 (complementary to JDEM)
31 Critical Issues " WL shear reconstruction errors! Show control to better than required precision using existing new facilities # " Photometric redshift errors! Develop robust photo-z calibration plan #! Undertake world campaign for spectroscopy (#) " Photometry errors! Develop and test precision flux calibration technique #

41 Shear Tomography Shear spatial power spectra at redshifts to z % 2. &CDM z=3.2 z= Needed shear sensitivity Cosmology Fit Region Linear regime Non-linear regime
42 Residual shear correlation Test of shear systematics: Use faint stars as proxies for galaxies, and calculate the shear-shear correlation after correcting for PSF ellipticity via a different set of stars. Cosmic shear signal Stars Compare with expected cosmic shear signal. Conclusion: 200 exposures per sky patch will yield negligible PSF induced shear systematics. Wittman (2005)
