AAS Journals Focus Issues

Rubin LSST Solar System Analysis Software Focus Issue

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will usher in a new era of solar system science. The survey is expected to discover and monitor ~5 million solar System objects over the next decade. New algorithms and software tools are required to mine this unprecedented dataset. This focus issue is dedicated to collecting and highlighting the software tools developed by the planetary astronomy community to enable and maximize early solar system science with the LSST and Rubin Observatory.

Where to submit: The Focus Issue is hosted by the Astronomical Journal, but you can submit to any of the AAS Journals (except for AAS Research Notes)

How to submit: Submit as normal to AAS Journals. Under "Detailed Information" answer yes to "Is this manuscript part of a Focus Issue?" and in the text box write "Rubin LSST Solar System Analysis Software Focus Issue." Email Sarah Greenstreet and Meg Schwamb to let them know that you've submitted to the Focus Issue.

Submission deadline: December 31, 2028
