Separating wheat from chaff: Big data challenges from the Legacy Survey of Space and Time
Event Start:
2021-01-21T16:00:00
Event End:
2021-01-21T17:00:00
Event Information:
The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) on the Vera C. Rubin Observatory will generate a data deluge: millions of astronomical transients and variable sources will need to be classified from their light curves. To study the physics of these objects, or to use them as cosmic beacons to measure the acceleration of the universe, requires classifying the objects into different types.
