Description

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will provide an unprecedented view of the dynamic optical sky, combining deep, wide, and multi-epoch observations of billions of sources over ten years. Its photometry and astrometry open opportunities to complement and enhance the capabilities of future missions such as GaiaNIR.

In this talk, I will present the key capabilities of Rubin/LSST and highlight some of the major scientific projects currently underway.

I will also discuss potential synergies between Rubin/LSST and GaiaNIR, focusing on how combining optical and near-infrared observations could expand scientific opportunities and foster collaboration between the two communities.
