| Abstract | This workshop will focus on the impacts of Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites on Rubin Observatory images. Rubin is NSF's newest large telescope. It will image the whole sky above Chile every few nights. The telescope makes use of the largest camera ever built. The data will have a profound impact on all areas of astronomy. However, the data will also be negatively affected by LEOs passing through the foreground of the images. This workshop at University of California-Davis will bring together exp |
