IPM Cosmology Seminar- Extra session
The LSST project (Large Synoptic Survey
Telescope)
Marc Moniez (LAL, France)
Abstract:
The LSST is a leading
project for cosmology, which
will provide precise measurements of the cosmological parameters within the next decade. It consists of a 8.4 meter
diameter telescope, equipped with a
very wide field 3 Gigapixel
multi-CCD camera. This device will scan the southern sky every third
night during 10 years, up to magnitude 24.5. Many scientific domains are accessible with this
equipment, with a special mention for cosmology: the search for
supernovae, the weak-lensing and the baryonic oscillation studies, and also the search
for hidden matter will be the priorities of the french IN2P3 teams now
involved in the project. Some of the technical challenges such as the
real-time measurement of the atmospheric transmission and the redshift determination
by multi-band photometry will be described.
